'''Turku''' (Swedish ''Åbo'') is a coastal city in Southwestern [[Finland]]. It has an active harbour, with both commercial and cruise ships going to and from major cities in the region. From Turku, there are motorways leading to all different directions throughout Finland, so make sure you know which motorway is going your way, and always use a [[sign]].

==Hitching Out=====East towards [[Helsinki]] ===[[ImageFile:Crazy-helsinki.jpg|thumb|200px|left|What type of crazy person decides to hitchhike to Helsinki in the middle of Winter on a Sunday morning? At least [[amylin]] arrived, through the frozen rain, 3 hours later...]]From [[Stockholm]], taking a cruise to Turku, rather than [[Helsinki]], is comparatively less expensive, and you can always hitch-hike the difference. The Viking Line cruise ships have free tourist maps of Turku at their information desks on board. Be warned that if you take a daytime cruise (which is about half the price), you will arrive in Turku at night. In the Fall, Winter, and early Spring, that means no daylight for hitch-hiking, and possibly extremely low temperatures, as well. Plus, there might not be much traffic on the icy (or slushy) roadways, since Turku is a rather small city.
