It was settled during the 13th century, making it one of the only few - and by far the largest - medieval cities in Finland. Turku is the cradle of Finnish culture, since over the years it has played an important role as the gateway to Finland for international influence. Nowadays Turku is a vivid city with clusters of maritime and medical business. Bisecting Turku city center, the River Aura is the heart and soul of the city: this is where Turku was born, and a large part of city life - museums, sights, restaurants and cafes - is still concentrated on the riverside. The river banks form a national urban park allowing for a pleasant stroll from the Turku Cathedral to the Turku Castle.
