5.00Beautiful city, great facilities and hospitality, a level of civility and respect that should be taken as an example. Top climate and food for all tastes, high prices in some cases, adapted to the local standard of living, just know how to choose.
Our lovely tour guide gave us a wonderful walking tour of Turku and its highlights. Would strongly recommend.
