Turku Castle has stood on the banks of the Aura River since the 1180s. Throughout history, it has served many roles: a defensive fortress, a grand court, an administrative center, a prison, a warehouse, and a barracks. It showcases the castle's complex history from ancient times to the present, displaying furniture, clothing, and treasured collections from various periods. In the Children's Castle Knight's Hall, children can dress up as princesses or knights and immerse themselves in the world of the medieval court. The museum shop offers a variety of gifts, small souvenirs, and children's knight and princess costumes. In the Duke's Cellar, you can enjoy a refreshing cup of coffee or a delicious lunch, enjoying a relaxing moment like medieval nobility.Turku · 2.8 km from downtown

The Turku Handicraft Museum is located in a dozen 16th-century wooden houses, and the whole is like a village. It is one of the better handicraft museums in Finland. The museum mainly displays Finnish handicrafts. Each house will display a kind of handicraft, which is very distinctive, but there is no text introduction.Turku · 764m from downtown

Once upon a time, opposite the old monastery in Naantali, there was a beautiful island called Kailo, where a fairy tale park was established. Since 1993, the Moomin family has brought the world of fairy tales to life for visitors every year. Whether you're young or young at heart, you can embrace the magic of Finnish fairy tales here. Many activities here involve interacting with the Moomin characters: Snufkin reads stories to children at his campsite, the Witch's Cottage is the perfect place to learn witchcraft, and there are wonderful performances on stage every dayNaantali · 14.5 km from Turku

After the weather cleared up in Marseille, the sky was so blue that it looked like a postcard~ [grin][Yeah]. I felt very happy. Although this was my second visit, I still felt fresh and looked forward to it.

It was a great place to relax with friends. It's accessible even from Helsinki. A must for those who love the Moomins.
