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 - Old Porvoo - Gamla Borgå, Drone footage
Kuvauksessa on noudatettu Suomen ilmailusäädöksiä.
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.
Old Porvoo is, as it's name says, the oldest part of Finnish town, Porvoo which is locater on a southern coast of Finland. On a river bank there is Porvoos' landmarks, old warehouses where mercandises bought by boats, were held few hundreds years ago. Now many of them serve as a restaurant, cafe or small shop where they sell old items. On a hill stands Porvoo Cathedral from 1300's. It has been burn for five times in it's history.
Porvoo (Finland) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Porvoo in Finland.
On the banks of the Porvoonjoki River around fifty kilometres east of the Finnish metropolis of Helsinki is the picturesque town of Porvoo. The origin of today’s bishop’s town dates back to 1346 and after Turku it is the second oldest town in Finland.Porvoo was located on one of Scandinavia’s most important trading routes, the historic King’s Road, which became a pawn in the hands of the great powers. In 1760 a devastating fire reduced the town to ashes. Unfortunately only a few buildings survived the catastrophe. However, the historic centre of Porvoo, with its charming old buildings, has managed to maintain much of its original atmosphere. Porvoo’s oldest building dates back to the sixteenth century yet the town’s other buildings more than compensate for their lack of age by way of their pretty floral decorations. The idyllic, narrow lanes and shopping streets as well as the colourful buildings, form a unique ensemble that is truly unforgettable. Porvoo is rightfully described as a Finnish treasure trove of mediaeval architecture!
