Turkus unverzichtbare Schätze

Turku, Finnlands älteste Stadt, bewahrt sein mittelalterliches Erbe durch das Turkuer Schloss aus dem 13. Jahrhundert und die nationale Pilgerstätte, den Turkuer Dom. Der Fluss Aura bildet das Herzstück der Stadt und verbindet historische Stätten wie den Alten Großen Platz mit dem Freilichtmuseum Luostarinmäki, das den Großen Brand von 1827 überstand. Zu den kulturellen Höhepunkten zählen das Museum Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova, das unterirdische mittelalterliche Ruinen neben moderner Kunst zeigt, sowie das maritime Zentrum Forum Marinum. Das lokale Leben spielt sich auf der traditionellen Markthalle aus dem 19. Jahrhundert und dem belebten Marktplatz ab.
