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.
