Aland Island and Turku Advice

Good day everyone,

I have a 18 day Baltic/Nordic trip coming up.

Is Aland Island worth a visit while traveling from Stockholm to Finland?

Also, when going to Finland should I include Turku?

Thanks,

Nate

The Åland islands are lovely and well worth a visit, I'm personally very fond of them. Turku is nice and has some very charming parts, but not a distaster if you miss it. But, with you itinerary you should probably think about removing places instead of adding more.

Hi Badger,

Thanks for the advice. I removed Poland.

I enjoyed Poland too much the first time and do not want to rush it, and miss out on some hidden gems in the Baltics/Nordics.

It’s been quite a few years since the trip, but I enjoyed my stays in Mariehamn and Turku enough that I recall hoping to perhaps visit them again someday. Stockholm was terrific and I did go back again to spend more time there.

Just remember that there is no way you'll be able to see all the hidden gems.
