Old Porvoo

Old Porvoo, with its red-ochre painted riverside warehouses, is one of the most photographed national landscapes in Finland and a steady favorite among travelers. Here you can admire the colorful wooden houses and stroll the winding cobbled streets – as if in a children’s story book.

Old Porvoos numerous award-winning restaurants, romantic hotels and B&B’s, cute cafes, quirky shops, chocolateries and boutiques invite you to stay for longer than just a day. Old Porvoo is also surrounded by a beautiful National Urban Park that stretches over the whole river valley. Porvoo is easy to reach from Helsinki by bus or by boat in the summer. 

Old Porvoo is very dear to us and one of our most important goals is to promote sustainable tourism. Please enjoy and respect Old Porvoo!
