Next, explore 3Porvoo Museum & Town Hall Square, where Porvoo’s heritage and daily life come together through exhibitions, preserved interiors, and traditional architecture that reveal how the town has evolved over the centuries.

End your visit with a relaxed stroll along 4Red Riverside Warehouses (Porvoon Jokiranta), the famous riverside lined with red wooden warehouses. Reflected in the calm waters of the Porvoo River, this postcard-perfect view is one of the most photographed scenes in Finland.
