Turku- Rauma: The Paris of Finland

After my visit at Turku, I totally agree with the quote that parallels the city as the “Paris of Finland”. It is indeed a city rich in history, culture, and a lively urban atmosphere.

As Finland’s oldest city and former capital, it bears a unique blend of tradition and modernity, much like Paris itself.

Turku gives the feeling of a cultural hub, hosting numerous festivals, art events, and theater performances throughout the year, similar to Paris’s dynamic arts scene. Also, the city is filled with an eclectic mix of historic and modern buildings that reflect its historic importance as a cultural and commercial center. Walking through Turku is a stroll through diverse architectural styles offering a glimpse into different eras of the city’s development.
