8 days in Turku Itinerary

Sitting at the mouth of the Aura River, Turku is one of Finland's quaintest and most historically rich towns.

Venture out of the city with trips to Fiskars Village (in Fiskars), Hameenlinna (Birthplace of Jean Sibelius, Hame Castle, &more) and Rauma (Burial Site of Sammallahdenmaki, The Church of the Holy Cross, &more). There's still lots to do: take an in-depth tour of Turku Castle, let little ones run wild at Adventure Park, learn about all things military at Forum Marinum Maritime Centre, and buy something for everyone on your list at Turun Kauppahalli.

For photos, maps, more things to do, and tourist information, use the Turku trip builder app.

If you are flying in from Germany, the closest major aiport is Turku Airport. In August, plan for daily highs up to 23°C, and evening lows to 12°C.
