Blanko
Next to the Auransilta bridge and opposite the tourist office is the ultra-chic Blanko, where Turku's gorgeous young things shake their booty to DJs on Friday and Saturday night; it's also a decent if overpriced lunch or dinner spot, with tables outside by the river, and dishes like Caesar salad and a range of pastas.

CaféArt
In a noble old waterfront building on one of Turku's most pleasant stretches, this hospitable café has tables out along the river, weather permitting, as well as two elegant interior salons. There's good espresso, as well as art exhibitions on the walls.

Concert Hall

Uusi Apteekki
South of the river is a wonderful bar in a converted old pharmacy; the antique shelving and desks have been retained, but they are filled with hundreds of old beer bottles. Bags of character.

There's live jazz most days at this place at the passenger quay.
