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.

Reviewed By Mari6 - Turku, Finland
Föri is 100 years old transportation method which people use actively every day to go across the river. It' takes few minutes to travel, and saves you atleast 30 mins walking to the bride to get over. Somebody tried to close it down and stop it working few years ago but people rose their voices to complain against that and it is still running from early morning till 11 pm at summer time. It is replaced by a walking bridge if the river frozes totally, and with another boat if föri itself needs fixing. Otherwise it is there for you free use! no tickets - although the pubs and bars close by do try to sell tickets to tourists!
