Valio’s legendary Koskenlaskija® cheese is now available as cheddar-flavoured slices particularly suitable for hamburgers. Arkea’s Restaurant Nereidi serves burgers regularly, and replacing your ordinary bun with a pita bread brings a nice change.
Marta Heinonen, service supervisor at Arkea’s Restaurant Nereidi, has enjoyed cooking since she was a child, and continues to love her job.
Founded in 1905, Valio started through exporting high-quality Finnish butter, which was collected from small creameries and exported jointly from Hanko. The product range quickly expanded, and today Valio is a company owned by 5,500 dairy farms, which works primarily for its producers, who are also its owners.
Turku Menu competition was organised for the first time already in 1985.
Now It is the Time of the Turku Market Square
Finland’s oldest culture city will be soon 800 years old. The best is still in front of us.
Turku is proud of its venues in which it has allocated resources. Now it is the turn of the Market Square. The living city centre will be a home arena for pedestrians and cyclists. This demands a series of reforms which are linked to each other, and which will serve the needs of all the users of the city centre.
Everything that you have always wanted to know about the New Turku Market Square.
Why Will the Turku Market Square Be Renovated?
We will renovate the Market Square in order to offer a cosy and a living meeting place in the heart of the city centre for everybody.

The New Turku Market Square – A Convenient Place for Business and Meetings
The Market Square has a special place in the hearts of the people. People come to the Market Square to meet friends and acquaintances, to buy local specialties and to spend time. The New Turku Market Square will be alive all around the year. In summer, it is be worthwhile to come there to buy fresh berries and to have a cup of coffee in the sunshine. In winter, you will find there a Christmas village and a skating rink.

What Is the City Centre of Your Dreams Like?
Do you want to have a city centre that is completely dedicated for walking? Do you want to have a safe city centre for cycling? How about having a living city centre for the culture? Do you want to have a versatile shopping centre in the city centre? These wishes could come true only if the underground parking facility of the Market Square will be built.
Driving and Parking in the City Centre of Turku
The renovation of the Market Square influences the streets and the parking places. It will be easy to get to the city centre and to park there even during the construction work.
Finland’s Best City Centre for Walking and Cycling
We want to transfer the city centre of Turku to Finland’s best for cyclists and pedestrians. When the cars will be redirected underground, they will make space to a modern and convenient city centre for the people. There will be safe and continuous bicycle roads when the cars will be redirected further away from the Market Square. In addition, there will be plenty of space reserved for the parking of the bicycles.
The street areas surrounding the Turku Market Square and the bus stops in the square have been completed for public transport. As a result, some of the stops returned to the Aurakatu and Eerikinkatu areas around the Market Square in the end of October 2022.
Three stops in the centre will remain on Linnankatu and one pair of stops will remain on Aurakatu at the City Hall park.
