This is my favourite tour, as it allows walking through 2 cities in 1 day. In Helsinki we see the 19th century capital with wide streets, classical architecture and also modern vibe. Porvoo, in contrast, is old, wooden, cozy, empty, cobblestone and silent. Let yourself feel the difference, have the blend of old new, big and small, noisy and silent. Experience the richness of Finnish culture!

The must-see square, where Helsinki began....

Here you will know the story of the lost-Helsinki.

Market square

Finnish gulf is the reason why Helsinki is in this spot - a port! We will enter the Market hall and see what Finns prefer to have for lunch and how big is the variety of salted salmon. We will stroll through the market, seeing what local souvenirs are like, sneak peak on a sauna, see the Presidential palace and Uspenski cathedral. Market square is full of significance and surprises.

Sibelius monument

Helsinki gratitude to the best composer in Finland! It is a combination of what inspired Jean Sibelius: granite, water and trees. This monument is for walking under, for touching, but not putting head into steel pipes.

Porvoo

At last, after 50 min drive we are in Porvoo. This is wooden treasure city with the oldest cityhall in the country, medieval Cathedral, best Runebergin cake, ups and downs streets. Here we spend 2.5 hours enjoying the tranquility and sneaking at the Finnish no-rush lifestyle. Locally made souvenirs are sold in tiny shops, so be ready for rare finds. In Porvoo we walk, no car in the oldest city part.

Cafe/Lunch appr. 15-30 min.

02:30 PM

Rock church / Oodi library

After return drive to Helsinki, appr. 45 min., we either visit Rock church or Oodi library, depending on your wishes, or even both, should the time allow.

Rock church: Granite walls, copper dome and natural light - a church created by 2 brothers in 1969 is still surprising its visitors by the natural simplicity and beauty.

Oodi library: a new concept of a library that astonishes you by architectural ideas and what you can find indoors. This is place for everyone, from a toddler to a pensioner.
