The small town of Raisio stands on the coast of southwest Finland, almost joining the city of Turku to the southwest.

These range from Kupittaa Park with its family-friendly adventure park to the city's Museum of History and Contemporary Art. Turku also offers a 7-year-old waterside castle and the modern Moomin World Theme Park. Look out too for the Panimoravintola brewery restaurant, the medieval market square and the most important Lutheran Cathedral in Finland.
Raisio has a three-mile coast line along the Bay of Raisio. It stands on a small river that enters the sea at Turku. Visitors who hire a car in Raisio can explore the city's highlights. Raisio's Mylly shopping mall is one of Scandinavia's largest, with 100 stores. In contrast, the Friisila Handicrafts Centre is a renowned hub for traditional crafts from the region.

The Raisio River Valley conservation area offers natural escapes from the town, while the seashore is a popular spot for bird-watchers.
