Fantastic ancient very well preserved castles with nice exhibition, friendly staff, moderate price. Located well in the city. Looks gorgeous. I wonder in a summer time even better. Please book at least 3 hours to view that all! Trully recommended!

It is quite big, there is the oldest part built in the 1300s and the newer area in 1500s. Strangely they do not offer headsets, but a guided tour to download on your phone via QR code, so if you do not have your own earbuds…either disturb the others or just forget it, There are a lot of signs, but they are kind of confusing and it is not clear to understand where the different areas are. There are a few exhibitions and rooms that show everyday life in different centuries. What I liked the most are the miniatures that reconstruct life scenes of the past. With kids it is worth to take a tour that allow them to act ancient times with guides in costumes that make them play “king and princess”. Walking fast it will take at least a couple of hours to go through the whole site. They offer a few free lockers and coat hangers at the entry; no cafeteria available, so bring your own refreshments. It is a good way to spend a cold afternoon, but it is not a memorable experience

From the looks of it, I have seen bigger castles, therefore we were surprised by the size of the exhibition area. Easily calculate needing 2 hours at least, unless you are rushing through it. It starts with some rather plain and not very stuffed rooms, later - especially during the 2nd part - there is much more information and things to see, therefore we also liked that part a bit more. The outside area is rather quickly explored and covered, but still offers a few nice views.

Had a very quick visit while waiting for the ferry to Stockholm. Lots of stairs but very few spiral stairs - bonus. The exhibition spans pre-medieval, medieval and renaissance times. Lots of interesting information is well displayed and doesn’t take too long to read. There’s a long room with artefacts across most of the times- again quite interesting.

Spent several hours at Turku Castle wandering around the exhibits. Everything in the exhibitions are well labelled and can be read in Suomi, Svenska and English. Fantastic guided tours in all 3 languages that are only 4 euros each with museum card. One of Finland's best historic museums.
