Turku
Located at the mouth of the Aura River, Turku is the oldest city in Finland, founded in the 13th century.
The city really has a lot to offer, with an array of museums, and lively summers when the whole city seems to head for the small armada of boat bars moored in the heart of town. Each July a Medieval market is held, and on 24th December every year, 'Christmas Peace' is declared at the Cathedral of Turku, as the city is the country's official 'Christmas City'.
