Turku Medieval Market

Medieval Market in Turku, Finland - Keskiaikaiset Markkinat Turun Vanhalla Suurtorilla

The Medieval Market is Finland’s largest medieval and historical event held at the Old Great Square of Turku, usually in June or July.

There are weapons (the real and the toys) sold here so that both parents and children can have something to look for. Actually we come home after buying 2 Mongolian bows and it shoots rather nicely!

There are people in medieval costumes going around the market and singing happily or acting in plays. Above all, the weather in July is so nice that you sure can enjoy!

Turku Medieval Market - Hội chợ Trung cổ ở Turku

(Xem tiếng Việt ở phía dưới)
Turku is the oldest city in Finland with a history going back to the end of the 13th century. Though Helsinki now holds the title, Turku was the first capital city of Finland from 1809 to 1812.
Turku has been named the European Capital of Culture for 2011, along with Tallin, the capital of Estonia.
The Medieval Market is one of the city's most notable cultural events, held in Turku around Midsummer of each year.

Hội Chợ Trung Cổ ở Turku
Turku là một thành-phố nằm bên bờ duyên hải tây nam nuớc Phần Lan, Bắc Âu, ngay cửa khẩu dòng sông Aura nhỏ bé. Tạo dựng từ cuối thế kỷ 13, đây là thành phố cổ nhất của Phần Lan. Trước khi Helsinki trở thành thủ đô, Turku đã từng là thủ đô đầu tiên của Phần Lan từ 1809 đến 1812. Ngày nay với dân số khỏang 175,000, tầm quan trọng của Turku đối với tòan quốc không còn như xưa, nhưng vẫn là một thủ phủ trong vùng và là một địa điểm quan trọng về thương nghiệp, giáo dục, văn hóa.
Trong thế kỷ 20, các sử gia đã mệnh danh Turku là Cửa Ngõ mở sang Tây Phương của Phần Lan, vì thành phố này có những quan hệ tốt với các thành phố và các quốc gia Tây Âu, đặc biệt ngang qua Vịnh Bothnia đối với Stockholm (thủ đô Thụy Điển).
Trong thập niên 1960, Turku là thành phố Tây Phương đầu tiên ký một thỏa ước song phương với Leningrad trong Liên Bang Sô Viết, dẫn đến nhiều cuộc trao đổi văn hóa và đóng vai cửa ngõ trong một ý nghĩa mới mẻ: Sau khi chế độ Cộng Sản sụp đổ ở Nga, nhiều nhân vật quan trọng của Liên Sô đã đến Turku để học hỏi các cách thức họat động thương mại của Tây Phương, trong đó có Vladimir Putin, bấy giờ còn là Phó Thị Trưởng thành phố Leningrad (nay trở lại tên cũ là St Petersburg).
Do lịch sử lâu dài,Turku là địa điểm của nhiều biến cố quan trọng có ảnh hưởng sâu đậm đến lịch sử, văn hóa Phần Lan. Thành phố này đã được chọn làm Thủ Đô Văn Hóa Âu Châu trong năm 2011, cùng với Tallinn, thủ đô nước Estonia.
Trong các họat động văn hóa của Turku, Hội Chợ Trung Cổ được tổ chức hàng năm vào khỏang giữa mùa hè (tiết Hạ Chí, vào cuối tháng Sáu, đầu tháng Bẩy Dương Lịch).

Turku market Square and City Library.

A dark day of November in Turku, Finland.
Video both outside (Market Square) and inside (City Libray). If you wonder about the hospital beds in the library - they were part of an artwork (installation) during the Dark evening/day event. It was possible to lay dawn and relax on the bed for a couple of minutes and listen to the sounds of the Baltic Sea by headphones. The artwork was called for Dream clinic/Uniklinikka) The trash outside the library is also an artwork - an installation to wake people to think how polluted the Baltic Sea is.

At Medieval Market in Turku

Visited the Medieval market today :3. Forgot my camera home, so i filmed with my phone, but didn't film much since i was afraid i get carried away and fill the memory (has happened before :'D). I had my 3ds with me in sleepmode, and it tagged someone that i now have tagged 3 times ;o. Usually there's more people but it's been raining today so that has affected it. There's also little events happening every now and then.

Käväisin tänään keskiaikaisilla markkinoilla :3. Kameran unohdin kotiin joten kuvasin kännykällä, kovin paljoa en kuvannut koska pelkäsin että innostun ja kuvaan liikaa ja muisti täyttyy(kokemusta on :'D). Mulla oli mun 3Ds mukana unitilassa, ja se tägäsi jonkun jonka olen nyt 3 kertaa tägännyt ;o. Yleensä tuolla on enemmän ihmisiä mutta tänään on satanut joten se vaikutti hieman. Silloin tällöin siellä on myös pikku ohjelmaa.

New videos about Finland regularly.


How do you recognise a medieval European town? Some say it is the riverfront, the market square, the castle and the cathedral. That sounds familiar -- in fact, that sounds like Turku!

Turku is not only the one city in Finland to meet all of the above criteria, but also a vibrant modern city of many events and a European Capital of Culture in 2011.

Turku City - Finland

This video is about Turku City in Finland.

Turku is a city on the southwest coast of Finland at the mouth of the Aura River, in the region of Southwest Finland. Turku, as a town, was settled during the 13th century and founded most likely at the end of the 13th century, making it the oldest city in Finland. It quickly became the most important city in Finland, a status it retained for hundreds of years. After Finland became part of the Russian Empire (1809) and the capital of the Grand Duchy of Finland was moved to Helsinki (1812), Turku continued to be the most populous city in Finland until the end of the 1840s, and it remains a regional capital and an important business and cultural center.

Because of its long history, it has been the site of many important events and has extensively influenced Finnish history. Along with Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia, Turku was designated the European Capital of Culture for 2011. In 1996, it was declared the official Christmas City of Finland.

Due to its location, Turku is a notable commercial and passenger seaport with over three million passengers traveling through the Port of Turku each year to Stockholm and Mariehamn.

As of 31 December 2016, the population of Turku was 187,564, making it the sixth largest city in Finland. There were 318,168 inhabitants living in the Turku sub-region, ranking it as the third-largest urban area in Finland after the Greater Helsinki area and Tampere sub-region. The city is officially bilingual as 5.2 percent of its population identify Swedish as a mother tongue.

It's like a festival with a market. You can see people wearing Medieval cloths. The atmosphere is very strange, but yet very lovely. I went there with my friend, Jozef. I'm not sure if they have it like every year in Turku, Finland, but I do hope you have a chance to see this in person. God willing!
