IMPORTANT MEETINGS SINCE 1229 Turku is the oldest city in Finland and one of the most popular conference cities in the country. The meeting facilities, banquet halls and hotels located along the bank of the River Aura and a vibrant urban milieu provide a memorable setting. Conference City Turku is an attractive combination of history, urban culture and maritime experiences.

THIS CITY WAS MADE FOR WALKING Turku is an ideal choice for larger events, as the compact size and versatile venues in the city create a functional, pleasant environment. All congress hotels and 2200 hotel rooms in Turku are located in the city centre, within walking distance from one another, the green riverside and the university campus.

20 000 SCANDINAVIAN ISLANDS One of the unique features of Turku is its location by the sea. The Aura River divides the city in two, and flows into the sea. That is the gateway to Turku Archipelago, often called the most beautiful in the world, reaching all the way from Turku to Stockholm. For congress and banquet hosts, the archipelago offers dozens of locations. Your guests can work and relax in the scenic archipelago nature.

IMPORTANT MEETINGS SINCE 1229 Turku is the oldest city in Finland and one of the most popular conference cities in the country. The meeting facilities, banquet halls and hotels located along the bank of the River Aura and a vibrant urban milieu provide a memorable setting. Conference City Turku is an attractive combination of history, urban culture and maritime experiences.

THIS CITY WAS MADE FOR WALKING Turku is an ideal choice for larger events, as the compact size and versatile venues in the city create a functional, pleasant environment. All congress hotels and 2200 hotel rooms in Turku are located in the city centre, within walking distance from one another, the green riverside and the university campus.

20 000 SCANDINAVIAN ISLANDS One of the unique features of Turku is its location by the sea. The Aura River divides the city in two, and flows into the sea. That is the gateway to Turku Archipelago, often called the most beautiful in the world, reaching all the way from Turku to Stockholm. For congress and banquet hosts, the archipelago offers dozens of locations. Your guests can work and relax in the scenic archipelago nature.
