Trip to Porvoo

<-- Back to the program 

SIGN-UP for the trip is open!

Porvoo, the second oldest town in Finland, is located 55 km East of Helsinki by the River Porvoo. The medieval plan, the red ochre sheds, the cobblestone streets and the idyllic courtyards make Old Porvoo a unique historical town environment. We will have a guided tour to Porvoo, which will lead you to the history and culture of Porvoo - and Finland - with enchanting stories about Swedish kings, Russian czars, artists and architecture, walking in the cobblestone streets of Old Porvoo.
