This gorgeous gateway of the Brinkkala house leads to Brinkkala yard where you can find Kirjakahvila (the book cafe) some boutiques (Outolintu) and Turkuseura society and Föripuoti, the shop where you can buy Turku related souvenirs.

This villa-like Samppalinna restaurant was established already in 1865, designed by the city architect C.J. von Heideken and constructed by commercial counsellor Pehr Cerelius Rettig. The music pavilion and the terrace serving area were built in 1900. It is still going strong.

There is a song by Elton John called Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. During these autumn months we almost could say that one such a road leads our way to the Turku Castle.

There is still some summer left although fall is starting to tint the leaves of the linden trees along the river bank. Let us hope for a long, warm and colorful autumn, shall we.

Turku by night – there‘s just something magical about it! Or what do you think? This magnificent night shot is captured by @fiorinidaniel.

What do you consider a typical view of our beloved hometown Turku?
We think there should be at least the river Aura some boats and definitely bridges.
And a beautiful sun set would not do any harm, don’t you think.

Luostarin välikatu runs through the heart of medieval Turku. The street leads to Kaskenmäki hill to the former site of St Olav’s monastery.

‪The luxory cruise ship Silver Wind was visiting Turku today. You can see the ship in the background arriving to the harbour. With this visit the cruise ship season ended in Turku. But we hope to see large cruise ships in our city also next summer. ‬

A traditional repertoire theatre situated in Finland’s oldest city, Turku City Theatre stages everything from plays to musicals, from drama to comedy. The autumn season is now on sale.

...and suddenly you are one with the moment when time just seems to stand still.

Summer in Finland is almost behind us. But it doesn’t matter because in autumn we get to admire these kind of beautiful dewy mornings. This magnificent morning shot is captured by @mavicgram.
