River Aura banks
 
The river Aura is where the city began to develop in the 1200s. The river attracted settlement, settlement attracted trade and from trade the port and later the city got started. Today the river is still the heart of Turku. It is the place for walks, sightseeing, dining - just to have a good time. The landmarks of Turku - the castle and the cathedral - are situated by the river. The river Aura houses a fleet of boat restaurants as well as stately museum vessels. The unique river ferry ' Föri' takes people across the river and the bigger ships on longer cruises to Turku archipelago.
