Turku's fascinating cultural offer

TURKU HAS SEEN THE LAUNCH OF THE REFORMATION, THE WRITTEN LANGUAGE, AND UNTIL 1827, HAS BURNT TO THE GROUND AT REGULAR INTERVALS. THIS MIGHT EXPLAIN WHY TURKU HAS LEARNT TO EASILY RENEW ITSELF – AND DEVELOP CULTURE ALL AROUND.

Notorious hills

Turku’s seven hillls are Finland’s best vantage points for views of the historic and beautiful landscapes of the river Aura. However, they are also associated with fascinating and macabre stories, which we explore alongside Turku’s crime novelist, Jari Salonen.

"Turku lives through wars and terrorism. In spite of all this, the River Aura flows into the Airisto Sea, a guitar plays on Puolalanmäki and people dance at Uittamo. And so life goes on, and that, if anything, is what being from Turku means."
