Beautiful place for a picnic and lovely nature walks with a family & dog. Didn't go to a museum just up the hill.

Café of Vanhalinna in Lieto specializes in delightful coffee. The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delectable treats make it a must-visit spot. Treat yourself to their exceptionally wide selection of chocolate bars (e.g., Tupla, Kismet, Pätkis, etc.). Unfortunately, I needed to drop one star off just because the sheep were unfriendly, even rude.

Whether you're visiting for the nature, history, culture, or a spectacular sunset over the farm lands and the Aura river, you won't be disappointed. Climb the bare rock that used to serve as a fortress in the iron age, visit the museum and the replica of the viking-age ship, and rent a boat (20€) and introduce yourself to the river. The cafe is open from 11am to 6pm, tue-fri. The bare rock (55m) was abandoned as a fortress in the 14th century when the political entities moved closer to the coast to the castle of Turku. The earliest recorded activity was dated into the bronze-age. The fortress was used by the locals until 12th century, when the Swedes occupied the area around same time when the catholic church was established in Koroinen. Eventually the Swedish forces handed the area to the Swedish Nobles.
