Where Should I go: Turku or Kitzbuhel?
Turku
Turku, a city on the southwest coast of Finland, straddles the Aura River. Dating from the 13th century, it's known for Turku Castle, a medieval fortress with a history museum, perched at the river mouth. Restaurants line the cobbled riverside streets. On the eastern bank lies the Old Great Square, a former trade hub, surrounded by grand buildings. The nearby Turku Cathedral houses a royal tomb and a museum. The historic castle and cathedral point to the city's rich cultural history when it was the Finnish capital, and contemporary Turku is full of experimental art and vibrant festivals, thanks in part to its spirited university population (the country's second largest), who make Turku's nightlife young and fun. As the first city many visitors encounter arriving by ferry from Sweden and Aland, it's a splendid introduction to the Finnish mainland.
Kitzbuhel
An internationally renowned ski resort, Kitzbuhel is a part of one of the largest ski regions in Austria. Located about halfway between Innsbruck and Salzburg, the town is surrounded by the Kitzbuhler Alpen, which reach over 2,000 meters. The rugged terrain is a great location for skiing in the winter as well as hiking in the summer.
