A few years ago we went to Copenhagen with a couple of friends. We are members of TOPN - Turun opiskelijoiden Pohjola-Norden association, which is a Nordic association interested in, well, all things Nordic! So we went to Copenhagen and had a lovely time with our Norden friends. I think this was in 2007.
A blast from the past came when a girl, Trine, from Copenhagen contacted me and asked for tips on traveling in Finland. I of course invited her to come and stay with me - and she came.
Despite the rainy weather we saw a lot of fun stuff in Turku: The Dome church, the city library, Turku Design week. In the evening (Saturday) we went out on the town and checked out Koulu = "The School" , which is a local restaurant and brewery. They had a huge screen and were showing the Eurovision Song Contest. The atmosphere was nice, so we stayed a while. After a few pints we went salsa dancing to Bryssel, a quite new and nice bar in the city center. After that it was bed time!
On Sunday we got up early to go for a hike. We took the bus to the city center, where we met with the Norden Association (TOPN) girls. The hike was in Katariinanlaakso and is called "Pyhän Katariinan reitistö".
My thoughts on the hike: the path is easy, it's easy to do the different paths with the help of a map and the marked routes. You don't have to be "super fit" to make it, our hike took about four-five hours (+bus home). You can enjoy many different types of forests along the path. There is also a look-out tower with a nice view!

A friend is visiting me in Turku and I really want to take her for a hike, but had no idea where we could go. Thanks for posting this!
