Attractive Porvoo

DURATION OF EXCURSION: CRUISE BY WATERBUS WHICH TAKES ABOUT 3,5 HOURS + 2,5 HOURS IN PORVOO + A CHARTER BUS TRIP ABOUT ONE HOUR DEPENDING ON THE PLACE TO ARRIVE

This cruise package is designed to make you forget your worries in the attractive and quaint town of Porvoo which has a colourful and interesting history. Departure is from Helsinki Market Square. The voyage to Porvoo takes approximately 3,5 hours. During the voyage there, you will have plenty of time to enjoy a delicious lunch and admire beautiful sea scenery.

In Porvoo, one or two guides will be waiting for you (depending on the size of your group) and you will first go to Café Helmi to have a pastry called Runeberg’s tart with a cup of coffee or tea. The best way to see Old Porvoo is a guided walking tour, which you will take after the coffee. You will hear about the town’s history and see how history and modern life blend creating a unique atmosphere. You will admire historical buildings and hear interesting stories about the past. During the guided tour you will also visit Holm's House, where you will get an opportunity to see how a wealthy Porvoo merchant family lived at the end of the 18th century. If your group wishes, you will also have time to visit the Brunberg chocolate store.

After the guided tour, a charter bus will call for your group. The journey back to Helsinki (or Espoo or Vantaa according to your choice) takes about an hour.
