Probably the most expensive elevator in Finland and the least thrilling rollercoaster in the enitre world. But definetely a must see, just to say that you have taken a ride with it.
Jokes aside, it actually takes you to my favourite area in entire Turku (Kakolanmäki) and if you want to skip the workout of walking up a steep hill, this might actually be useful.

My absolute favourite (and kind of secret) spot to watch sunsets is in the rocks of Kakolanmäki. I can tell you the exact location if you want to know it, just message me.

Popular place amongst locals and visitors for strolling. The river Aura and the riverbanks are best places to enjoy few beers in the Spring and Summer. Might be very crowded though during weekends.
