There is no official Finnish city or town named "Markku", probably due to a confusion or spelling error. Finland's major cities, including Helsinki (the capital), Turku and Tampere, have their own distinctive characteristics: Helsinki is a blend of modern urbanism and classical architecture; Turku has some of the oldest castles and churches in the country; and Tampere is known for its industrial history and lake scenery. If you are referring to other small places in Finland, it is recommended to provide more precise names for further information.
