Porvoo Old Town, Porvoo, Finland
The town of Porvoo, located about 32 miles northeast of Helsinki, Finland, is one of the oldest towns in Finland, dating back to the 1300s.
As a tourist destination, one of its main highlights is the Porvoo Old Town, where the narrow cobblestone streets are lines with wooden buildings that date back 200-300 years.
Its Porvoo Cathedral was built in the 1400s, although parts date back to the previous century. Parts of it have been rebuilt a number of times after fire.
A series of warehouses line the river date back to the 1700s. They have been painted red ochre since they were painted that color in the late 1700s in honor of a visit by King Gustav III.
Porvoo is a popular day trip destination out of Helsinki. Its historic center has been considered for UNESCO World Heritage Site designation.

Vanha Porvoo on, kuten sen nimikin kertoo, Porvoon vanhin kaupunginosa Suomen etelärannikolla. Porvoonjoen rannalla sijaitsee yhdet kaupungin maamerkeistä, vanhat varastot joihin kauppatavarat tuotiin muinoin veneillä. Nykyään monissa niistä sijaitsee ravintola, kahvio tai vanhan tavaran myymälä. Mäen päällä on Porvoon Tuomiokirkko 1300-luvun vaihteesta. Se on historiansa aikana palanut jo viisi kertaa.

Porvoo & Helsinki Highlights
After an approximately one hour ride along a picturesque road, you'll stop at the Old Bridge for a magnificent view of Porvoo's quaint Old Quarter. Porvoo is the second-oldest town in Finland, dating back to 1346. In this popular artists' center you'll enjoy a walk along cobblestone streets lined with colorful wooden houses. Enjoy some time to explore Porvoo on your own, perhaps browsing the many artisan and handicraft shops, before your short drive to Haikko Manor, where you'll stop for lunch. After lunch, ride back to Helsinki for a tour of the city which includes a visit to Temppeliaukio Rock Church, Sibelius Park and Senate Square. You'll also see Market Square, the Uspenski Cathedral, the Presidential Palace, and many other city highlights. Note: Order of sights might vary. Guides are not allowed to escort large groups through churches while service is in progress. In this instance the guide will describe the church from the outside. We cannot guarantee entry if services are being held.
