Step inside the National Sanctuary of Finland, a magnificent example of Brick Gothic architecture that has stood for over 700 years. Your guide will share stories of the kings and queens buried within its walls as you admire the towering nave and intricate stained glass. It is not just a church, but a living chronicle of Finnish history and the spiritual heart of the city.

Forum Marinum Maritime Centre

  • 20m
Immerse yourself in Turku’s deep-rooted maritime identity at this world-class nautical center located by the Aura River. You will visit the impressive fleet of museum ships anchored outdoors, including the majestic wooden tall ship Suomen Joutsen. It’s a fascinating look at the era of sail and steam that shaped the Baltic Sea’s history.

Turku Castle

  • Admission ticket not included
Explore the massive stone corridors of one of Finland’s most iconic landmarks, dating back to the 1280s. This fortress has served as a defensive bastion, a lavish court for royalty, and even a prison over the centuries. Walking through its medieval rooms and Renaissance halls offers a vivid glimpse into the life of the Swedish nobility who once ruled these lands.

Kakolanmäki

Visit one of the city’s most intriguing transformations: a granite hilltop that once housed Finland’s most notorious prison. Now a trendy lifestyle hub, the area blends grim history with modern luxury, featuring a boutique hotel and a local brewery.

These narrow lanes and charming courtyards offer a rare look at how locals lived and worked centuries ago. Your guide will point out the traditional craftsmanship and the peaceful atmosphere that makes this district a "living museum."

Archangel Michael's church

  • 10m
Dominating the western skyline of the city, this breathtaking red-brick masterpiece is one of Finland’s finest examples of the Gothic Revival style. Designed by Lars Sonck, the church is famous for its soaring spires and its unique transition into Art Nouveau interior details. As you walk through its grand entrance, your guide will reveal the artistry behind its intricate woodcarvings and the stunning altarpiece that makes this one of the most photographed landmarks in Turku.

Turun Kauppahalli

  • 40m
Conclude your tour by soaking up the local atmosphere in this beautiful 19th-century indoor market.
