Day 1
Porvoo And Helsinki
The day starts at your hotel or cruise port. • Pick up service with an 8-seat van car. • Day will be divided into 2 parts: o We will make a private tour of Porvoo town and visit the old medieval cathedral. In Porvoo, we will walk in the narrow cobblestone alleys, visit small shops and cafés. The houses in Porvoo are hundreds of years old, and the view is astonishing. There is also a nice local chocolate store Brunberg. o Afternoon part of our tour includes a trip around Helsinki. You will see the most beautiful sites of the town, like Sibelius Monument Park, Rock Church, Library Oodi, and the Market Square. • We will drive 1 hour to Porvoo and leave our car to a parking lot near the cathedral. We will explore the city by walk, as it is not allowed to drive in the narrowest alleys. The old cathedral is very beautiful, and you will hear the history of Finland being the autonomous grand duchy of Russia. • In Porvoo we can visit some small cafés and taste the local delicacy Runeberg Tart. • The distances to walk in Helsinki center are short. • At Market Square we will return back to our car and drive back to your hotel or cruise port.
