Things to see and do Naantali

Located in the old town of Naantali, the museum is spread over two wooden buildings dating from the 18th century. It reflects the bourgeois lifestyle of the small town and the trades of yesteryear. The first building houses the museum's ticket sales, an archaeological exhibition of the early days of Naantali and a miniature model of St. Bridget's Convent. The second takes visitors into 19th century interiors that show how the merchants of the small town lived. Beautiful garden with a rose garden. Count 1 hour for the visit.

The President of Finland spends his summer holidays in Naantali, enjoying the park and the beautiful rose garden (650 m²) in the Kultaranta Gardens. Every year the site attracts about 20,000 visitors. Today it is one of Finland's built cultural sites of national interest. The building belonged to Alfred Kordelin, who had it built in the early 1910s, and later belonged to the University of Turku before it was taken over by the state.

Tove Jansson originally invented the Moumines (Muumi in Finnish) during the Second World War, so that children could escape to a lighter world. It was originally a comic book that was all the rage in the Nordic countries, and then the Moumines developed into a television programme. The Finns have recreated the world of these characters with attractions and shows in Naantali, on the island of Kailo. The Japanese love... But you too will be seduced by these endearing hippopotamus-looking characters!

In the heart of a beautiful park, the beautiful church with exposed pink granite stones, built between 1443 and 1462, slightly overlooks the surrounding waters. Built at the base to serve the order of Sainte-Brigitte, it is today the only vestige of the convent of the brigitinnes. It is also one of the oldest medieval constructions in the country. Belfry late 18th century of Baroque inspiration. During the ruska (autumn and its bright colours), the colours are splendid. On summer evenings, vespers are announced at 8 pm by a trumpet.
