Bikepacking from Helsinki to Turku

This epic ride takes you from Helsinki’s vibrant streets all the way to the historic city of Turku, covering almost 238 km of southern Finland’s beautiful countryside. You’ll start amid Helsinki’s coastal sights and city buzz before quickly finding quieter cycleways and tranquil rural roads.

The route is mostly flat, although you’ll still rack up over 2,500 meters of climbing – but nothing too steep, with the highest point just under 115 meters. Expect a mix of surfaces: there’s plenty of nice smooth asphalt, but also stretches where you might want to keep an eye out for rough patches or missing pavement.

Along the way, enjoy forests, lakes, and maybe even a glimpse of the Baltic Sea! Turku, your destination, is Finland’s oldest city and full of quaint riverside charm, with its famous castle and lively market square waiting for you at the finish. Perfect for ambitious cyclists looking for a real adventure between two of Finland’s coolest cities.
