Turku harbors a wonderful mix of old and new with a distinctively Scandinavian charm. Spend time touring the open-air Handicrafts Museum, browsing its workshops and engaging with artisans. Photograph Turku Castle, Finland’s largest fortress, and its signature Cathedral Church, looming authoritatively over the Aura River. Consecrated in 1300, this is the colossal mother church of Finland’s Lutherans and the final resting place of eminent bishops, military commanders – even a queen.
