Porvoo - located not even an hour by car from Helsinki - is a wonderful day trip destination. Finland's 2nd oldest town has a beautiful old town full of beautiful wooden houses and it gives you this certain "time travel" feeling I always enjoy so much.
- Pros:The old town with it's beautiful houses and streets.
- Cons:Haven't seen the new parts of town so I didn't find any ;)
- In a nutshell:A must when in Helsinki!

Nice little page of this Finnish gem ... I visited Porvoo this summer just before my Russia trip ..I hope you are doing well. :o)
ok. next time let me know when you are around!
A must see activity in Porvoo: Brunbergs factoryoutlet. Brunberg is a chokolate factory not far from town centre. You can taste all different sweets and after a few round you don't need any lunch. Check their homepage: Brunberg.Fi/eindex (english)
Is that all? I demand more!!!
Beautiful pictures. As usual, I will visit here again soon in this coming Spring.
