Visited Turun linna just this July. It was 15-16€. A LOT of walking involved. We walked through the old part in 75 minutes and saw the reception again and thought "oh wow, that was quite large took some time.. Oh wait, there's another half of the castle on the other side of the reception we haven't visited." And I will say, 75 minutes was a speedrun. If you wanna stay and read through all the info tables and stories in them, it'll take another 45 minutes for the old part. We only read some texts in rooms that we found most interesting and looked at some structural details and whatnot. There's a lot to see for 15€!
Even though I'm a Finn, I will say that if you are interested in museums, Stockholm is a fabulous place to visit. I have been to the Vasa Museum twice over the years. It's truly impressive. I think I said it before a couple of years ago, but you can easily and inexpensively get to Turku from Stockholm overnight by using one of the cruise-ferries, though of course there are many cabin/suite options available to suit your needs and budget. But even the cheaper cabins with no windows are good enough with their own showers and everything. Flights between the USA and Stockholm are more plentiful compared to Helsinki, so you might consider flying to Stockholm, checking it out, and then taking a cruise-ferry to Finland. When you get off the ship in Turku, the medieval castle is right there to welcome you. If you ever end up visiting the Nordics.
The Vasa ship in Stockholm is indeed quite a sight in real life! They're closing the museum down though, as both the museum and the ship need a big renovation. I visited the Pommern ship in 2021, it is also much larger in real life than what it looks like in the photos. It's closed in winter so that's why it has the 'temporarily closed' mark on Google Maps. I've never visited the Nordic Museum but it's on my to do -list for Stockholm!
Nice map, and again I liked to watch how you searched those places from Wikipedia and found out what they exactly are. This time I have been in all places that appeared in the game :)
You got off pretty easy here, all very easy to recognize locations. Tried this map as well, but I got more obscure places farther north in Iceland and even Faroe Islands.
Yup, a seed with a reasonable distribution of famous locations in the Nordics. Three Swedish, and two Eastern Swedish (as they were)! Very much reflecting reality. If they're famous, they're Swedish! Edit: even the migrating Norwegian trolls included! Gosh, this episode sums it all up in a small format! As you might have noticed, the Nordic Museum is exclusively about Sweden. That was the very topping on the cake. Man, this one was epic!
That was a quick 25k, I've visited Turku Castle, Pommern, the Vasa Museum and Gröna Lund (I count it since it was we saw at the start of the Kastellholmen round). Always a bit risky with the drone pictures, are they exactly where they should or have they placed them at the famous place nearby.
Thanks for watching!

I had a funny feeling when you were scrolling over Turku, my hometown for almost 60 years now. Thousands of memories covered in a few mouse moves.

In Pori, Finland trees look exactly like that now.
I bet Stockholm is behind, because it is more south.
