Porvoo is a beautiful city with its red wooden riverside storehouses and pastel-coloured buildings, and it has Kokonniemi as a great urban green space. In the winter it is a ski resort, and in the warmer summer months it is a great hike, bike and run location. There are a number of trails to do that you can mix and match to do what you want. It is family friendly and very accessible to the city and the river.

It is somewhat unusual that the church tower is so far away from the church building.

Porvoo Cathedral (Swedish Borgå domkyrka, Finnish Porvoon tuomiokirkko) in Porvoo, Finland (Swedish Borgå) is the episcopal church of the Swedish-speaking Evangelical Lutheran Diocese of Borgå. The brick gable is unplastered, the bell tower is free-standing. Around 200,000 tourists visit the cathedral every year. Next to the bell tower is a wooden church built in 1740 for the services of Finnish-speaking parishioners. The diocese was set up in 1723 after the Great Northern War, since Sweden had to cede Vyborg with the bishopric to Russia. The oldest parts of the cathedral - originally a wooden building - date from the 13th century. From 1410 the cathedral was expanded and rebuilt as a stone church. It was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It was destroyed by fire several times: in 1508 by the Danish army, in 1571, 1590 and 1708 by Russian forces. Source: wikipedia.org

Here's my tip: Park the car at the train station and walk the short distance across the old bridge into the heart of the old town. It's a great way to start your sightseeing! 👍

Here beging a few kilometres of paved cyckling way.

The path is suitable for beginners.
