    Turku, meet Bob.

4.6 out of 5|9,237 reviews

Turku, home to ancient roots — and new tricks

Turku’s got history, heart, and a pig-duck hybrid called Posankka. Once the capital, now a cultural comeback story, it’s packed with character, charm, and a surprising amount of boats that double as bars.

Bob’s set up in the iconic Cotton Wool House — a 1920s gem with local heritage woven into every corner. Think warm wood, bold colours, and design nods to the Aura River.

This place blends medieval castles, market buzz, and summer boat bars like it’s no big deal. Whether you’re here for a culture fix, a client meeting, or just a good bite by the water, Turku’s got the goods.

Ideal for weekends, work trips, or a little of both. Step outside and you’ve got market stalls, indie galleries, riverside rambles and some of Finland’s best eats. Come for the history, stay for the good times.

a building with many windows
Finland’s oldest city has seen it all — medieval castles, great fires, a quirky mascot called Posankka, and now, Bob. Turku’s Aura River flows with history and culture, lined with cathedrals, castles, foodie havens, and riverboats that double as summer pubs. Step outside and you’re moments from markets, museums, and riverside rambling.
