Walking loops in Keskusta, Turku
The Aura river splits Turku's center with the casual authority of something that's been here since the last ice age. Follow it upstream and the medieval cathedral appears — massive, brick-red, older than Finland itself. The streets around it layer centuries without labeling them. You'll cross bridges constantly, each one framing the river differently. The center is compact enough to walk end to end before your coffee gets cold, but dense enough to keep finding new turns for weeks.
