Turku, Finland

Photography Tour in Turku

The best photos of Turku aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

Turku is Finland's oldest city, a riverside university town where a medieval castle and cathedral anchor a walkable center known for its archipelago access, food culture, and creative spirit.
