Turku's Essential Treasures

Turku, Finland’s oldest city, preserves its medieval legacy through the 13th-century Turku Castle and the national shrine, Turku Cathedral. The Aura River serves as the city’s heart, connecting historic sites like the Old Great Square with the Luostarinmäki open-air museum, which survived the Great Fire of 1827. Cultural highlights include the Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova museum, showcasing underground medieval ruins alongside modern art, and the Forum Marinum maritime center. Local life centers on the traditional 19th-century Market Hall and the bustling Market Square.
