The River Aura

Now one of the things that I spotted, was the beautiful River Aura.
This river runs throughout Turku and neighbouring suburbs and is one of my favourite beauty spots.

The river is even more beautiful during sunset, there is something about the bright sun hitting the freezing cold water that just got to me.
Most nights I went to the lit-up bridge to watch the sun hit the water.

Now, it's even better when you head more up to Martti, the river gets wider, there are more boats and there is a ferry which takes you from one side of the river to the other (it's free by the way, so if you ever take a longer stroll, take the ferry across the water and walk back up on the other side back into the town centre.)

There are many boats running along the river, some are party boats, some are restaurants, some are bars and some are just sat there abandoned.

Honestly, try and get to the river as much as you can as it is so different on different days depending on the weather.

Here are some of the many pictures that I captured.
