What you can expect

Step back into Finland’s medieval past on a private day trip from Helsinki to Turku, the country’s oldest city and former capital. With your friendly English-speaking driver, travel in comfort from Helsinki / Starting Point, through scenic Finnish landscapes before arriving at this historic gem on the southwest coast.

  • Fully Customisable & Private – Discuss your itinerary and stops with your driver, and if time isn’t enough, you can ask them to extend the ride directly from their app.

  • Hotel pickup and drop off from a professional English-Speaking driver.

Your journey begins with a visit to the magnificent Turku Castle, a fortress that has stood since the 13th century and one of the most important medieval buildings in Finland. Walk through grand halls, dungeons, and exhibitions that bring the city’s royal and political history to life.

Continue along the Aura Riverfront, the heart of modern Turku. The riverside is lined with museums, cafés, historic ships, and cultural landmarks, making it the perfect place for a relaxing stroll or a photo stop.

Next, experience local life at the lively Turku Market Square, the city’s central meeting point. Depending on the season, you’ll find market stalls with fresh produce, Finnish delicacies, flowers, and crafts that reflect the everyday culture of Turku.

Finally, visit the Forum Marinum, Finland’s National Maritime Museum, where you can explore exhibitions on seafaring history and admire a fleet of historic ships docked nearby.

At the end of your adventure, your driver will take you back to Helsinki, with memories of a day spent between castles, rivers, and cultural treasures.
