What to expect

  1. Turku Cathedral
    1h
    Turku (Åbo) is the oldest city in
    Finland, and a former center of commerce going back as far
    as the 13th century. Turku was the capital of Finland until
    1812, when the Russian emperor decided to move the capital
    to Helsinki, closer to Russia. Turku is the residence of the
    Archbishop of the Evangelical Lutheran church. During the
    excursion we will visit the main church of Finland, Turku
    Cathedral, where daily worship takes place. The cathedral is
    considered one of the most valuable architectural monuments
    in the country.
  2. Turku Castle
    1h · Admission ticket included
    The fortress of Turku Castle has stood at the
    edge of the river Aura since the 1280’s. During its
    history it has been a defensive bastion, a majestic
    court, an administrative center, a prison, a storehouse
    and a barracks. Nowadays the castle is a
    must-visit tourist attraction in Finland.
    The halls and chambers of the castle have
    witnessed major turning points and dramatic
    events in history – from the misfortunes of
    incarcerated prisoners to royal visitors and the
    elegance of court life. The comprehensive
    exhibition of Turku Castle presents the castle’s
    history up to the present day. The elegant rooms
    of the Bailey are styled with period furniture,
    costumes and treasures from the museum’s
    collection. In the Children’s Castle’s Knight’s Hall
    kids can dress as princesses or knights and step
    into the world of a medieval court. Additionally,
    the Children’s Castle includes the Castle
    Workshop, the Mini-court and the Castle-Elf’s
    treasure chamber.
