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.

What's Included

  • Walking 2h and Driving 2h Combo
  • Bottled water and a Magnet Porvoo souvenir made by us
  • Pick-up and drop-off locations of your choosing :)
  • Tea and coffee Snacks and drinks

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
