Porvoo Tourism

Porvoo, a picturesque town in Finland's Uusimaa region, is a must-visit on any traveler's itinerary. Boasting a rich history, Porvoo is a beautiful and peaceful town located by the Baltic Sea, 40 kilometers east from Helsinki. It is known for its cobblestone streets, wooden houses and the colorful old town.

The main attraction in Porvoo is the Old Town, which is a well-preserved 18th century trading center. It is also home to the Porvoo Cathedral, the oldest in Finland. Other highlights include the Porvoo Museum, the Porvoo Art Museum, and the Porvoo Town Hall. For those looking for an active holiday, Porvoo has plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy. From a leisurely stroll through the cobbled streets of the old town to kayaking and fishing in the nearby river, there are many options to explore. Visitors can also enjoy cycling, horse-riding, and sailing. In addition to the many attractions, there are also plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops in the area. It is a great place to sample some of the local cuisine and pick up some souvenirs. It is essential to keep in mind that the city gets a lot of snow in the winter months, so be sure to bring appropriate clothing. Moreover, while most of the attractions are open year-round, some may have seasonal opening hours or be closed during public holidays.
