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.
