About Turku

Turku is the oldest city in Finland, the former capital of the country, and the most historically significant city in Finnish civilisation — a city of 200,000 inhabitants on the Aura River at the southwestern Finnish coast 171km west of Helsinki Airport, whose extraordinary heritage as the capital of Finland for five centuries under Swedish and Russian rule (Turku was the largest and most important city in Finland from the medieval period until 1812, when Tsar Alexander I moved the Finnish capital to Helsinki, giving Turku a historical primacy in Finnish civilisation quite without modern parallel in the country), the Turku Castle (the Turun linna, the largest and most extensively preserved medieval castle in Finland, construction begun c.1280, its Renaissance Great Hall and medieval courtyard the most magnificently restored historical interior in Finnish castle architecture, housing the most important collection of medieval and Renaissance Finnish history objects in the country) and the Turku Cathedral (the Tuomiokirkko, the most sacred church in Finland, the national shrine, construction begun c.1300, burial place of numerous medieval bishops and Swedish-Finnish nobility, the most historically venerated ecclesiastical building in the country) give it a historical depth of the first importance in Finnish national heritage.

Turku's most celebrated contemporary identity is as Finland's cultural capital (the European Capital of Culture 2011, the most important single-year cultural programme in Finnish history) and the home of the most vibrant university environment in western Finland (Turku University and Åbo Akademi — the most important Finnish-Swedish university in existence, the most significant institution for the preservation and development of Swedish-language Finnish culture). The Turku Archipelago (the most extensive and most spectacular island archipelago in Finland, with over 20,000 islands, the Archipelago Sea — the most complex and most densely islanded sea area in the world, an extraordinary maze of granite islands, skerries and channels navigable only by those who know the waters, the most unique maritime landscape in Northern Europe) and the Turku Christmas Market (the most traditional and most atmospheric Christmas market in Finland, held since the medieval period, the Finnish declaration of Christmas Peace — the most famous annual proclamation in Finland, broadcast on radio and television since 1935) give Turku a cultural and natural identity of remarkable completeness.

Important Transfer Information

Oldest City and Former Capital of Finland — Most Historically Significant City in Finnish Civilisation: Turku's status as Finland's capital for five centuries (the largest and most important city in Finnish history until 1812), the Turku Castle (the largest medieval castle in Finland, the most magnificently restored Finnish castle interior) and the Turku Cathedral (the most sacred church in Finland, the national shrine) give the city a historical primacy in Finnish civilisation that no other Finnish city can match — the most foundational urban heritage in the country.

Archipelago Sea — Most Complex and Most Densely Islanded Sea Area in the World: The Turku Archipelago (20,000+ islands, the Archipelago Sea — the most densely islanded sea area in the world, the most extraordinary maritime landscape in Northern Europe) gives Turku access to the most unique and most navigably complex island landscape in Finland — the most distinctive natural heritage of any Finnish coastal city.

E18 West Transfer: The transfer from Helsinki Airport to Turku takes approximately 122 minutes via the E18 motorway west — the main Helsinki-Turku coastal highway, the most historically important transport corridor in Finland.
