Bob W Turku City Center is a development aimed at one of Turku’s landmark buildings located at Elikinkatu 12C, known as ‘Vanun Taro’ or Cotton Wool House. The property is named after its longest tenant until the 1950s, Oitrunvanu, a completely female-led textile company. Recently dubbed the “Queen of Marketplaces” by locals, Bob W. Turku City Center is located next to a lively market square with good transport links, making it the perfect place to explore the area. Bob W.’s hand-picked Turku was chosen for its charm. It is characterized by historic charm, modern atmosphere, lively food stalls, cafes, restaurants (Turku is known as Finland’s food capital), and a wide selection of famous shops, malls and department stores. In the summer, the city of Turku really shines. Stroll along the Aura River, where you can admire traditional medieval buildings such as Turku Cathedral and Castle, and the river boats give way to cozy pubs moored alongside open-air restaurants, which are internationally acclaimed. Regular music festivals such as Lewis Rock add to the atmosphere. Constructed in the 1920s, this historic Jugendstil building exhibits unique architectural features, including different floor levels and recent restoration of the building’s façade. Inside, local designers and artists have created a warm and authentic atmosphere inspired by the laid-back browns and greens of the Aura River. The muted tones are accented with hues from Turku’s iconic landmarks, including the city’s official mascot, Posanka (a pig-duck!), and accents of pink. Inspiration is taken from the functionalism of his 1920s and 30s, where comfort was a priority and every corner felt like home.
