Turku’s culinary culture captures influences from Sweden, Denmark and Germany. The world’s largest Archipelago on Turku’s doorstep has made fish a staple of the local diet throughout the ages, which together with the region’s other excellent ingredients are turned into mouth-watering dishes at the capable hands of top chefs cooking for the TurkuMenus.

Turku Covered Market where you’ll find traditional and innovative local delicacies ranging from gourmet sausages to local cakes and pastries, and from souvenirs to exotic spices, was opened in 1896 on Eerikinkatu, a street in the city centre. Local farmers sell their produce at the nearby Market Square, just a few blocks from the Aura River.
