Turku is one of the biggest cities in Finland (currently 6th biggest) and used to be the capital until the 19th century. Plus it is only about 2h by train from Tampere. Reason enough to go there on a day trip during our „exam week“. Lucky for me I did not have any exams in this week!
The funny thing was that we started out as a group of four, but we met another group of exchange students on the train! A special highlight for us was the indoor part of the botanical garden a bit outside of the city.
