Turku, Finland - 21st May 2014

By: jinxed

Hello!

It's another beautiful day and another walk in a park. This time we went to Puolalanmäki (Puolala Hill), which is one of the seven hills of Turku, again. On top of the hill are Art Museum and Puolalanpuisto (puisto = park).

Puolalanmäki is located in the town center, only a short walk from Kauppatori (marketplace) which is the heart of the center. Here's a view towards Kauppatori.

Here we are in the front of the Art Museum. It's one of the many old buildings in Turku.

We decided to sit down for a while and enjoy the sunshine.

Here's an interesting looking building near the park.

This is statue is for the friendship between Turku and Leningrad. Yes, Leningrad is Saint Petersburg now, the statue is obviously old.

I like these swans and the fountain, too. We decided to sit for a while here, too, before walking back to Kauppatori.
