Amazing walk in a city full of history like Turku. The cathedral ,Auransilta bridge, Föri. Despite the Turku region is the third largest by population(after Helsinki and Tampere), only the city itself is the 6th largest. Great video really!

Great job getting to Turku! Full with history. Thank you for the tour. Also, why is there a ferry over the river? there seem to be a lot of bridges :P *edit: Oh probably they decide to keep it active because of its history ^^

Thanks! Nice that you liked my Turku walk :)

there arent any bridges where the ferry is located, because it's very close to the harbor so bridges would've made it hard for ships to enter the river before. nowadays it's not a problem as big ships dont enter the river though, but there isn't a reason to build another bridge when we can use the ferry :)

Sweden is a bit overrated compared to Finland. One shud only decide when they see first hand... Stockholm is nothing compared to this lovely city

well even tho i was born and raised in turku, stockholm has some really cool places like gamla stan. it's unfortunate that most of turku's old buildings got burnt down because of the fires
