Europe visited Turku! See the cheerful photos and videos of the Europeade 2017 event.

The beautiful large sailing vessels visited Turku. Take a look at photos from the sea and from the banks of the River Aura.

With the help of a host of participants, we will draw up a lively programme covering the whole of 2017. All year and all over the region various campaigns, artworks and public events invite us to enjoy the festivities that honour the hundred year of Finland’s independence.

The reputation of Turku as a food destination is soaring. The Aura riverfront reveals one top restaurant after another, and many summer events focus exclusively on the worship of food.

Turku is especially active in the Baltic Sea cooperation, partly due to its history as the former capital of Finland and gateway to the world. Today, Turku is the home of Finland’s maritime cluster with world-class universities and innovation centres, vibrant biotech businesses and other enterprises.
