About Turku

‎Turku is the oldest city in Finland, and was the European Capital of Culture 2011. It has the soul of an international Capital of Culture, yet still feels like a small intimate city, and is sure to make a lasting impression.

The venue also offers lots of sightseeing opportunities. Turku Castle and several museums offer a comprehensive overview of historic and artistic development in the region.

Helsinki – the capital of Finland is only two hours away by train. From there, St. Petersburg (Russia), can be reached in 3.5 hours by train or visa-free ferry trip. Another popular attraction is a ferry trip to Stockholm.

The weather in September is usually pleasant with sunny days and an average temperature of around +16^oC.
