Turku, a Golden Autumn

Turku is the old capital of Finland. After a great fire in 1827. Finland moved its capital into Helsinki. Compared with Helsinki and Tampere, Turku has more hills in the city.

The Turku Cathedral is an obvious landmark in the city.

Autumn in Turku is in a gold filter. Although the city looks bigger than Tampere. There are not so many people on the street.

The ferries crossing the river is free of charge. It took about 1 minute to cross.

Funicular is an elevator to climb the mountain. Although it is free. I did not figure out how to use it.

Turku Castle, only this one building left. It is next to the harbour. The ferries are going to Stockholm.

It is about Halloween. There are already decorations on the local families.
