Turku Maps and Orientation
(Turku, Finland Proper, Finland, FI)



Finland's fifth-biggest city, Turku is located on the south-western side of the country and has a population of approximately 180,000 people. Turku's harbour is amongst the most important seaports within the whole of Finland and each year is used by almost four million passengers.

Sited around the River Aurajoki (Aura), which divides the city into two significant areas, central Turku stands approximately 3 km / 2 miles directly north of the actual harbour, with regular buses connecting each of the arriving ferries. Most places close to central Turku are simple to reach on foot, with maps of the city being available at the Akateeminen Kirjakuppa bookshop in the Hansa Shopping Arcade, on the Yliopistonkatu.
