This tour is fully customizable according to the traveler's requests. Welcome to Helsinki and Porvoo!
ITINERARY:
Starting from Helsinki, we drive 1 hour to the medieval town of Porvoo. We leave our car beside the river of Porvoo, because the town officers have restricted the driving inside the city only for residents and services. Our first place to visit will be the medieval cathedral, hear the story of the fire accident and admire the old construction. After visiting the cathedral, we walk to the narrow streets to visit local café or shops. After visiting Porvoo, we return back to our car and drive to Helsinki. The drive takes approximately 50 minutes to Sibelius monument and center of Helsinki.
Beside the park, we will have a short 0, 5-hour break beside one of the loveliest small cafés' in Helsinki, called Regatta. You will just fall in love with the fresh coffee and buns…
From there we will drive to see the Rock Church, which is the architectural pearl of the city. From there we'll drive to the Senate and Market Squares and Esplanade Park.
The day tour ends by driving back to your ferry.
