Description

Porvoo is a significant national treasure of Finland and well worth a scenic countryside drive to one of the most photographed riverside warehouses that once stored goods making their way to destinations across Europe.

The walking tour through old Porvoo up to the 13th century Porvoo cathedral tells a captivating story of local legends, history and culture. The settlement in the Porvoo region began around the same time as the original wooden church was built. The Old Town Hall Square is at the heart of the city.

As an important cornerstone in the history of Finland, fortuitously old Porvoo has not been touched in conflicts of the past and instead flourished into a popular town known for a number charming cafes, restaurants and riverside red houses.
