The oldest town in Finland originates from 13th century. Sometimes it seems, it can not get past its history.
While visiting Turku, there happened to be the Medieval Market event. The atmosphere was really genuine, with the dramatic abduction of a woman.
Even though the event goes back to the year 1412, for example the folk dance is still pretty much similar to the folk dance nowadays. Only the contemporary music is a bit more melodic.

Finland, the country of thousand lakes carries people with thousand pastimes. Some weird, some boring, but definitely with a twist. Here the production team discusses the inspiration and ideas behind each episode. You’re welcome to share your comments.
