    Answer Report Abuse
    • Here are some of the must-visit places in Turku - 

      • Turku Castle 
      • Luostarinmäki Handicrafts Museum
      • Turku Cathedral 
      • Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova
      • Forum Marinum 
      • Botanic Garden of Turku 
      • Market at the Old Great Square

      Some of the most preferred hotels in Turku are Radisson Blu Marina Palace Hotel, Scandic Åbo, and Scandic Julia. The central area of Turku has a good combination of 3- and 4-star hotels. 

      Trains to Helsinki are easily available and take around 3 hours to reach. But for more options, I would suggest checking the official websites.
