Turku is the oldest city in Finland and is located on the southwest coast of the country. The city was founded in the 13th century and its medieval influence is still visible today: Turku Castle, the largest medieval building in Finland, is located in the middle of the city center. Here, visitors can follow in the footsteps of the Middle Ages and marvel at old exhibits in the integrated historical museum. Turku is a tranquil city where the clocks go a little slower. Cozy cafés and restaurants in the city center invite you to linger and a walk along the Aurajoki River is the perfect activity to capture the atmosphere of the Nordic city.
