Pretty little town, with a lovely cathedral and beautiful views of the red-painted wooden huts in the town when seen from a walk around the nearby Castle Hill. It's a very worthwhile bus journey from Helsinki, taking about 45 minutes. So it makes a great half-day trip.

Such a lovely old town with cozy narrow streets full of souvenir shops and cafés. Architecture is authentic but kept in a good condition. It can be windy on the river promenade.

Such a charming beautiful place right out of Hallmark series,to stroll around for few hours and conveniently located by bus from Helsinki - we took Omni bus and it was a smooth ride to and fro. Definitely a must if you are in Helsinki and have few hours to spare

Porvoo old town is worth a visit for exploring traditional Finnish architecture. It's a small area with cafés, shops, restaurants, a church and close to the river. All the way in the back you'll find a nice park area to wall around in. All walkable distance, also from the main bus station and shopping mall.

Lovely little place to visit for a day trip from Helsinki! It’s got all the medieval feels - cobblestone streets, tiny boutique shops, colourful houses and artisanal outlets. We found a really good chocolate shop that had amazing variety. Beautiful to walk around and get a pint / hot chocolate with a meal.
