reFinland :European capital of culture
Turku has the neighbour Tallinn, another European Capital ofCulture 2011, and is a very old coastal city on the Baltic sea. A bigcultural activity is going on in the doyenne cities of Finland, aroundthe theme « Turku in fire », with reference to the large number offires that have devasted the city during its history but also, andmainly, because of its intense creative and artistic activity. The cityof Turku was founded on the banks of the Aurajoki river and, stilltoday, inhabitants define the places depending on which bank theyare situated. Having a walk along these banks means discovering thecathedral, the Sibelius museum, the house museum Ett Hem, theAboa Vetus museum, the handicraft Luostarinmaki museum, the artmuseum Waino Aaltonen. Crossing the bridge or taking the freeferry Fori to join the castle of Turku, the Fleet museum (with the Suomen Joutsen three masts), as well as the Pharmacy museum andthe Qwensel house. A few steps away in the Market square is the ArtMusem of Turku, the Market Halles and the beautiful centrallibrary. If one is tempted by lakes or forests, one may also enjoy theAland Islands which are an autonomous region and culturally apartfrom Finland, where one speak Swedish.
