Naantali Old Town
Naantalin vanha kaupunki
A well-preserved old town of 18th- and 19th-century wooden houses and a 15th-century monastery church, one of Finland's most charming small towns.
Naantali began with the Bridgettine monastery founded in 1443. The old town keeps its cobbled lanes and colorful wooden houses. The monastery church is still in use, and evening concerts are often held there in summer. The harbor promenade is lined with cafés and restaurants and is a popular summer getaway for Finns. Every July 27, on Sleepyhead Day, the latest sleeper is thrown into the sea. From Turku, take bus 6 or 7 for about 25 minutes. In summer you can also take an old steamboat.
