Bits and pieces of Turku

by sabsi - last update: Jul 4, 2004

Biscuits in Turku Castle
I recently went to Turku on a day trip from Helsinki. On our way there there was heavy rain and we thought there would be a real museum day ahead of us.
Turku Castle and blue skies
As soon as we had parked our car the sun came out though and it was a beautiful sunny day. So we went straight into the tourist information to find out if we still had the chance on a boat trip through the archipelago. And we had. Before our boat left we even had some time left to see a bit of Turku and to visit the castle!
Loo island? ;)
The highlight of our day in Turku was the trip through the beautiful archipelago though.

Unfortunately because of the beautiful boat trip we missed quite a few great sights of the town itself and also we haven't seen much of the beautiful architecture in the city centre. But I am sure that this wasn't my last visit to Turku so some day I'll add some more here.

I hope you enjoy to read about our wonderful day "Turussa".

PS @ Gil: Was this fast enough? ;)

 Thanks Sabine for your informative Turku-page. I'll try to use your tips during my visit to Turku on my way to Stockholm. Privet from Moscow!
