Gay turku, finland

The oldest city in progressive and liberal Finland, Gay Turku offers invigorating nightlife, relaxed cafes, plenty of design and art spaces and an almost Parisian riverfront — providing a much-needed contrast to the most ostentatious and frantic capital Helsinki just a few hours away. Sure, Helsinki might have more gay bars and Finland-only gay saunas, but that does not mean the rest of Finland has nothing to offer gay travelers. Turku, a medieval city deeply scarred by losing its capital status and the tragic Great Fire of Turku in , which destroyed much of the old town, has risen like a phoenix and today offers a refreshingly different mix of inventive restaurants, designer boutiques, huge music festivals, and Middle Ages grandeur. Yes, we are talking about the Turku Castle and Turku Cathedral which the magical River Aura still links today.
