10 reviews of Porvoo

Exceptional

The medieval city of Porvoo is 50 kilometres from Helsinki, and was rebuilt countless times because of several fires. It has a certain taste of a fake idyllic city, however, the surrounding landscapes are exceptional and for only these, it's well worth a visit.

Porvoo es una pequeña ciudad muy pintoresca a 50 km de Helsinki. Data del siglo XIV. La ciudad es famosa por sus casas rojas de madera a lo largo del río. Otros lugares de interés son su catedral una de las más antiguas de Finlandia con piezas que datan del siglo XI. El edificio se incendio cuatro veces entre 1300 y 1700. Lamentablemente la iglesia fue incendiada nuevamente en el 2006. Otro momento difícil aconteció en 1941, cuando fue bombardeada en plena II Guerra Mundial.
Porvoo is a very picturesque small town 50 kilometers from Helsinki. XIV century. The city is famous for its red wooden houses along the river. Other attractions are the cathedral one of the oldest in Finland with pieces dating from the eleventh century. The building caught fire four times between 1300 and 1700. Unfortunately the church was burned down again in 2006. Another difficult moment came in 1941, when it was bombed in World War II full.

Porvoo es la segunda ciudad más antigua de Finlandia. Situada a unos 50 Km. de Helsinki, un paseo por su centro histórico, muy bien cuidado, nos transportará a tiempos pasados. No hay que dejar de visitar su catedral. Se puede llegar desde Helsinki alquilando un coche o también hay la posibilidad de hacer un minicrucero.
Porvoo is the second oldest city in Finland. Located about 50 km from Helsinki, a walk through the historic center, very well maintained, we are back to old times. Do not miss the cathedral. You can get there from Helsinki renting a car or there's also the possibility of a mini-cruise.

The Fairland

Il paese incantato

Questa piccola, idilliaca cittadina finlandese è la seconda città più vecchia del paese dista 50km da Helsinki verso est. Porvoo è una meta affascinante: vecchi depositi fluviali, strade acciottolate, negozi della vecchia poorvo, ristoranti, musei, gallerie d'arte.

Porvoo, are not only red houses ...

Porvoo, no son solo casas rojas...

Viví por un año en esta ciudad y hay muchas cosas lindas para ver y hacer, visitar la torre de los pájaros, caminar por el bosque, ir a pescar, y lo mejor es en invierno cuando se congela el rio y puedes ir a caminar sobre el... subir a su colina y hacer snow-board o esquiar es magnifico también!!! No puedes dejar de visitar su famoso restaurante donde el platillo principal son caracoles de tierra, también pueden visitar el museo de las muñecas que es un poco lúgubre pero al final conmovedor... Y en diciembre recibir la navidad con villancicos en la plaza del pueblo viejo es sensacional, después ir al cementerio y llenarlo con velas para aquellos que no están en navidad con nosotros es hermoso.. Porvoo en finlandés o Borgo° en sueco, tiene muchas tradiciones, cultura y gente hermosa!!! Definitivamente es un destino espectacular...
I lived for a year in this city and there are many beautiful things to see and do, visit the tower of the birds, walking in the woods, go fishing, and it is best in winter when the river freezes and you can walk on the ... up hill and make your snowboarding or skiing is great too! You can not miss the famous restaurant where the main course are land snails can also visit the museum of dolls is a bit grim but ultimately poignant ... And in December to receive Christmas carols in the old town square is great, then go to the cemetery and fill it with candles for those who are not with us at Christmas is beautiful .. Porvoo in Finnish or Swedish Borgo °, has many traditions, culture and beautiful people! Definitely is a spectacular destination ...

Hace tiempo me fui a visitar a una amiga finlandesa que me escribía con ella y me llevarón a esta ciudad tan maravillosa de Porvoo que nada tiene que ver con lo que había visto del país. Me contarón que en esta ciudad viven muchos suecos. Me encanto andar por una ciudad tan antigua.
Some time ago I went to visit a friend Finnish I wrote to her and took me to this wonderful city of Porvoo that has nothing to do with what he had seen in the country. They told me that living in this city many Swedes. I loved walking through a city as old.
