What makes Full-Day Guided Turku and Castle Tour from Helsinki a unique experience ?
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.
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.
we will also have a tour in the city to get the better understanding of the "Swedish" capital of Finland
