Top 10 Outdoor Activities in Turku, Southwest Finland
Turku (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈturku] ( listen); Swedish: Åbo [ˈoːbʊ] ( listen)) is a city on the southwest coast of Finland at the mouth of the Aura River, in the region of Southwest Finland. Turku, as a town, was settled during the 13th century and founded most likely at the end of the 13th century, making it the oldest city in Finland. It quickly became the most important city in Finland, a status it retained for hundreds of years. After Finland became part of the Russian Empire (1809) and the capital of the Grand Duchy of Finland was moved to Helsinki (1812), Turku continued to be the most populous city in Finland until the end of the 1840s, and it remains a regional capital and an important business and cultural center.

6. Flowpark Turku
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 48 reviews
Flowpark is an ecological adventure park open from May to October. Adventure trails have been built on living trees without harming them. You may solve over 120 tasks even at a height of twenty meters. Tasks refer to ropeways, including swaying paths, liane jumps, swings, and zip lines. Flowpark has been meant for people of all ages, full of adventure spirit, from 120 cm height onwards – there is a challenge for any ordinary guy as well as for experienced 'wilderness foxes'! In the park, you also find four lower courses for children under 120 cm in height. You don't need to have any advanced skills for the Flowpark trails. You'll be instructed how to use the equipment and how to act on the trails before you are allowed to enter the actual trails. Every customer will complete a test trail, and after he or she has passed it, he or she is allowed to adventure independently on the trails. One proceeds on the trails continuously connected to a safety cable wire. Challenge yourself!

Reviewed By Masseneinwanderin - Baar, Switzerland
The ferries connecting the islands of the Turku archipelago enable bikers to make a great round trip. Hints: Check the ferry timetables, book your accommodation in advance and go in June or July - many places for accommodation close already fairly early in August when the Finnish school children return to school.
