Question Road Trip from Helsinki to Turku: Stop Suggestions?

[Uptight Unico]

I'm traveling with 2 other adults from Helsinki to Turku by car in September for a day trip. Are there any must-see stops along the way that offer good food, scenic views, or interesting activities? I've heard about some charming little towns, but I'm unsure which ones are really worth the detour. Any tips or hidden gems would be greatly appreciated!

For a high-minded day trip from Helsinki to Turku, consider stopping in Fiskars Village. It's a bit of a detour but offers a unique blend of art, design, and history, with scenic views and excellent local cuisine. Another worthwhile stop is the town of Lohja, known for its beautiful lake and the Tytyri Mine Museum, which provides a fascinating underground experience. Both locations offer a mix of cultural enrichment and natural beauty, perfect for a thoughtful traveler.
