Private Medieval Porvoo by Car from Helsinki
Overview
Let us welcome you in Finland and take you on a journey to the charming town of Porvoo, just 45 km from Helsinki. As the second-oldest city in Finland, Porvoo offers a unique glimpse into the past with its four parallel cobblestone streets and a majestic cathedral dating back to the 1450s.
This tour invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and discover the heart of Finnish life. Walk through historic streets, take in the scent of tarred wood, listen to birdsong, and hear stories about Porvoo's past. With a cozy stop at a local café and plenty of wooden houses to admire, you will better understand Finnish character and see an authentic side of Finland many travelers miss.
Please note: Porvoo’s cobblestone streets are uneven—comfortable walking shoes are recommended; not suitable to wheelchairs and strollers.
We’ll finish the tour back in Helsinki, at a location of your choice.
A perfect walking (2.5h) and driving (1.5h) combo.
