Walking aimlessly : Ruissalo Botanical Garden, Turku, Finland

Walking aimlessly
Walking aimlessly
Walking aimlessly..”

I visit Ruissalo Garden at least once during every summer, it´s a tradition I cling to. The outdoor garden is not as fancy as many European gardens or even Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden in Helsinki, but instead very cosy and it has a nice relaxed bohemian feel. In the garden you can find roses, meadow flowers, exotic trees and colourful waterlilies, but what I really love about the place, is that I can combine a peaceful visit at the Garden and a nice long walk along the island of Ruissalo. A very nice way to spend few hours or a day.

Garden is located in the middle of Ruissalo Island, approximately 6,5 kilometers from the Turku City Center.

The park is open daily and free of charge.
