Cathedral of Porvoo Review

The ancient city of Porvo is Finland's second oldest city, built in the 13th century, 50 kilometers east of Helsinki, today's weather is not very good, cloudy, occasionally snow, some of the ground on the street is frozen. Since it was winter and the river was frozen, we didn't take the riverside location, we just visited some of the attractions in the old town. This is where many Finnish artists live and come here full of artistic atmosphere.

Located in the mouth of the river Porvo, a picturesque ancient city 50 kilometers east of the capital Helsinki, it was built in the 13th century and is the second ancient city in Finland after Turku. As early as the Middle Ages, Porvo was an important import trade center, and rows of red warehouses along the Porvo River showed people the history of Porvo's shipping, and it was a famous attraction for tourists competing to take pictures.

An old town close to Helsinki, about 50 kilometers away, the ancient city of Porvo. It features rows of red medieval buildings that bring out the port warehouse culture here. There is a very historic church, this cathedral is also the seat of Finland's first parliament in 1809. And the chocolate produced in Porvo is super delicious, come here to buy the truffle chocolate of the century-old chocolate shop. The taste is soft and smooth, the taste is very fragrant, and the price is not expensive.

An hour's drive from Helsinki, the traffic is very convenient. There is a small river in the old city, and the scenery on both sides of the river is very good. Every day in the summer vacation, people in traditional costumes perform programs, singing and dancing, horse teams, and seem to have programs similar to stage plays. In short, it is very beautiful. The old city can rent bicycles, but the old city is not big. Take a map in the visitor center and follow the map. All the best attractions can be seen. It is worth mentioning that the colorful walls and beautifully decorated windowsills.

Porvoo Old Town is a small town that you can enjoy walking.

It is like a paradise, they are far away from the hustle and bustle, quiet and beautiful, elegant and simple, they are different from Western European towns, the Nordic towns have less luxury and artificial traces, more simple, more leisurely, more invincible, and even some lazy feeling.

The ancient city is not big. It is worth a visit for about two hours. From Hull, I took the bus to and from 18 euros to(Porvoo Likenne), 9 euros a way. The price of different companies will be different. There are many classes a day, so you can choose the cheap class. When Yuyu comes back, go to another company. Asked 15 euros, only to find that it is a different company, get off the bus to see the schedule, nine euros as long as wait 15 minutes, so sit down.
