Turku Cathedral
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.

Turku Castle
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.
