Turku is generally a very safe city. On weekend nights drunken people may cause annoyance, especially after last call. The River Aura is as dirty as it seems, and is surprisingly shallow. Also the river banks provide very little access to the shore, so it is better not to refresh yourself with I quick dip. Swimming in the river is also considered illegal.
In case of emergency dial 112, which is the general emergency number for police affairs, fire and medical care.
