Despre activitate

Let us pick you up and show you the best Helsinki and Porvoo have to offer!

Our adventure begins in Helsinki, where we’ll spend 1,5 hour walking through the historical city center. Classical and hidden 19th-century treasures sights of 19th century capital mix with stunning Finnish romanticism architecture.

After a scenic 45-minute drive, we’ll arrive in Porvoo, Finland’s second oldest city. Here, you'll spend 2 hours exploring the enchanting 18th-century streets, stepping into the 1450s-built cathedral, and marveling at the city’s wooden houses. As you walk through the medieval town, don’t miss the chance to savor a traditional Finnish pastry at a quaint 1700s café or have a common Finnish lunch. Please note that the streets in Porvoo are cobblestone, so comfortable shoes are highly recommended.

Finally, we’ll return to modern Helsinki with another 45-minute drive, reflecting on the rich history and unique experiences of our journey through these two remarkable cities.
