Hello Everyone, I am Derek from Finlandtour.fi. Today in this podcast, I will try to describe our Turlu tour from Helsinki. To be precise, it will be around 7 hours of tour, including train transfers. The basic inclusions of this tour are: Train journey from Helsinki to Turku, 3 hour Turku city tour in car and return train Journey from Turku to Helsinki central. We can also arrange transfers for you from your hotel in Helsinki central to Helsinki station and back. 

The train journey to Turku is around 2 hours from Helsinki station. When you book the tour with us, our team provides the e-copy of the train ticket, which you use to board the train. After arriving Turku, our guide will pick you up from station and make you explore the beautiful city. 

We start in Turku, Finland’s oldest city and former capital. This beautiful town is like a living museum, with almost 800 years of history packed into its streets and buildings. On this tour, you’ll get to learn all about Turku’s architecture, culture, and even its vibrant modern-day universities and industries.

One of the highlights here is the Turku Cathedral. It’s a stunning piece of history, over 700 years old, and it stands tall as a symbol of Finland’s cultural heritage. Walking through the cathedral feels like stepping back in time – you can almost hear the whispers of centuries gone by.

From there, we hop into our minivan and take a short 20-minute drive to another gem of Finnish history – Naantali. This quaint medieval town is truly a sight to behold. It was founded around the Brigittine Convent, a church that still dominates the skyline and tells tales of its monastic past.

In Naantali, we take a relaxing walk through the Old Town. Picture this – narrow cobblestone lanes, colorful wooden houses, and the refreshing scent of the sea just steps away. It’s an experience that’s both peaceful and inspiring.

This whole journey takes about three hours in total, and it’s done comfortably by car. It’s the perfect blend of history, culture, and scenic beauty. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or just someone looking for a unique Finnish adventure, this tour has something for everyone. 

After this guided tour, you will return to Helsinki station and our Turku tour from Helsinki ends. That’s a wrap for today’s episode!
