It is not just a church, but a living chronicle of Finnish history and the spiritual heart of the city.
Forum Marinum Maritime Centre
Immerse yourself in Turku’s deep-rooted maritime identity at this world-class nautical center located by the Aura River.

A wonderful tour on our first trip to Finland

5.00We really enjoyed learning about all the history of Helsinki and Finland. Having a tour guide who is knowledgeable of places and communicates well is important. Pascal was an amazing guide and he was so kind and helpful as well. We would definitely do another tour again. And Igor was our driver who was incredibly prompt, friendly, and also very kind to our family. Thank you all so much!
"Lux vehicle" could mean an old Volkswagen

4.00The driver/guide was wonderfully nice, kind, and flexible. The car was advertised to be a "Lux" car with wifi and given the photo of a Mercedes, I thought it would be a "luxury" vehicle. However, it was an old Volkswagen car. Luckily the driver was nice and a good driver.
