Turku is a city and former capital on Finland's southwest coast, near the mouth of the Aura River, in the area of Finland Proper (Varsinais-Suomi) and the old Turku and Porin lääni (1634–1997). Suomi (Finland) was the initial name for the area, which eventually became the name for the entire nation. Turku has a population of 191,499 as of 30 September 2018, making it Finland's sixth biggest city after Helsinki, Espoo, Tampere, Vantaa, and Oulu. The Turku sub-region has 330,192 residents, making it Finland's third largest urban area after the Greater Helsinki area and the Tampere sub-region. The city is officially multilingual, with 5.2 percent of its residents identifying Swedish as their native tongue.

When Turku obtained city privileges is unclear. In 1229, the Pope named the town of Aboa in his Bulla, and the year is traditionally considered as the foundation year of Turku. Turku is the oldest city in Finland and functioned as the most significant city in the Kingdom of Sweden's eastern region (modern-day Finland). In 1809, Finland became an independent grand duchy of the Russian Empire following the Finnish War. Turku lost its status as Grand Duchy capital in 1812, when Tsar Alexander I of Russia chose to relocate the capital to Helsinki.

Only after the last major fire in 1827 were most governmental institutions relocated to Helsinki, including the Royal Academy of Turku (Turun Akatemia), which was founded in 1640 and later became the University of Helsinki. Turku was Finland's most populated city until the end of the 1840s, and it is now the regional capital, as well as an important commercial and cultural hub and port.

Because of its lengthy history, it has witnessed many significant events and has had a significant impact on Finnish history. Turku, the historic capital, is crucial to the country's history. Turku, together with Tallinn, Estonia's capital city, was named the 2011 European Capital of Culture. It was designated as Finland's official Christmas City in 1996. In addition, Turku has been designated as Finland's Food Capital since it is home to some of the country's oldest and highest-rated restaurants, including the country's top-rated Indian restaurant, Delhi Darbar, and a historically famous fish market held twice a year.

Turku is a significant commercial and passenger seaport due to its position, with over three million people passing through the Port of Turku each year to Stockholm and Mariehamn.
