LOCAL TIP: Even if you don’t go inside, climb up anyway for the beautiful views. From outside the museum, you can enjoy a charming view of Aurakatu stretching toward the Aura River. There’s also Café Victor inside the museum, which you can visit even without buying a museum ticket, making it a perfect spot to grab a coffee and soak up the atmosphere.

HOW TO GET THERE: The museum is close to Turku city centre, just a short walk from the Market Square.

COST: Regular tickets are priced reasonably, but the museum offers free entry days, usually once a month. Keep an eye on the schedule and plan your visit around those days if you want to save some euros.
