Step into a storybook and spend a day in the charming wooden town of Porvoo. The tour is designed with respect for the local environment and heritage.

The scenic town of Porvoo is located just an hour’s drive from Helsinki. Iconic red riverside warehouses, colorful wooden houses, and narrow cobbled streets of Porvoo create a postcard-perfect setting, as if taken straight from a fairytale. Porvoo’s relaxed atmosphere offers a refreshing contrast to busy city life.

Founded in 1248, Porvoo is Finland’s second-oldest town and has played a significant role in the country’s history. Your guide will take you on a walking tour through the Old Town, where charming wooden architecture meets vibrant local life. We will also visit Porvoo Cathedral, one of Finland’s oldest churches, if it is open during our visit.

After the guided tour, guests can enjoy their free time to explore this atmospheric town at their own pace. Visiting charming boutiques, discovering local artisans’ workshops, and tasting Porvoo’s famous chocolate and liquorice will make this fascinating day trip even more enjoyable.
