About Turku
For centuries Turku (Åbo in Finnish) has acted as the commercial bond between Finland and Europe, making it one of the most important shipping ports in Scandinavia. The port of Turku was founded on a natural trading post at the mouth of the River Aura, and has played a pivotal role in the development of this city. Over three million passengers use Turku port annually, travelling to Stockholm and Kapellskär in Sweden or the Åland islands.
Turku (the 2011 European capital of culture) is the fifth largest city in Finland, and is a varied city full of history. Turku castle is one of the most popular attractions in Finland; this magnificent building dates from the 1280's. There are also a number of museums in Turku, as well as the Cathedral of Turku, and the surrounding area houses a beautiful archipelago and national park. Many of the highlights of Turku are built on the banks of the river Aura that flows through the city.
The banks of the river and the city centre are home to many of the city's mix of restaurants, including some on boats. Turku also boasts many varied cafés, pubs, bars and nightclubs, some of which keep open well into the morning. It is an energetic city, and during the summer months it hosts a number of large music festivals, including a chamber music festival and Ruisrock, the oldest rock festival in Scandinavia.
Turku Terminal Facilities
The Turku harbour has a cafe, children's playground, ATM, elevators, disable toilets and lockers. There are no banking facilities or currency exchange services, but the proximity of Turku itself means those services are available close by. Both long and short term parking is located near the terminal building.
Getting There
By Car
The Helsingintie road runs all the way through the city to the port. Helsinki is 2 hours away west along the E18. From Tampere head south on the E63 to reach Turku.
By Rail
There are direct train connections from the cities of Helsinki, Tampere and Kuopio. Whilst the main train station is in the north of Turku, the line continues directly to the port of Turku station (Turun satama), which is about 100 metres from the terminal.
By Bus
The main Turku bus terminal is handily located only 120 metres from the port, and the no. 1 bus service departs every 15 minutes to and from Turku city centre. Buses travel all round the city, so from any part of Turku you can travel to the port by bus relatively quickly and cheaply.
