2. Next, the route takes us across the river to Turku’s Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova, i.e. Old Turku and the new art museum shop Laurentius, which sells products made by the people of Turku. The selection includes, for example, handicrafts and the museum’s own products. The selection of the store, which is about one hundred square meters in size, is constantly renewed, so it is worth stopping by every time you visit Turku.

3. If you’re starting to get hungry, the perfect place to stop to enjoy lunch and a wonderful river view is, for example, restaurant ship Donna or nex to it restaurant ship Svarte Rudolf, or go eat at the restaurants Karu Izakaya, Hügge, Tintå or Via Tribunali. Another great place to enjoy lunch is in Turku’s Old Market Hall, where the route takes you next. In the market hall, you can find a wide range of high-quality delicacies for the dining table, and the hall itself is already an attraction because it belongs to the gems of Finnish architectural heritage and is in the highest protection category as a very valuable site in terms of cultural history.

Then the route heads to Linnankatu, along which there are several small boutiques and specialty shops, such as Sisustustu koodi, Porta Nove, PUF, interior design shop Uniikki and KUI design on Kristiinankatu. There are two flea markets on Linnankatu and Kristiinankatu; Maanantaimarket and Merkitys 2nd Hand Shop are worth a visit.
