    Porvoo Old Town image
    If you are an art enthusiast and like to paint and draw you should plan to spend some time here. It is such a picturesque town that you can spend hours drawing and painting or photographing the beautiful houses, streets, river, nature, and environs of Porvoo. You can also buy some real art (and even the beautiful vintage Arabia ceramic ware) in a number of small and unique antique shops. I also recommend visiting the “Art Factory Porvoo” to see some interesting exhibition of contemporary Finnish artists. To reach the Factory you walk on the pleasant promenade along the Porvoo River for 10-15’ then cross a bridge until you reach Läntinen Aleksanterinkatu 1. See more..

    Söderskär Majakka (LIGHTHOUSE) image
    Lighthouses are so fascinating and Söderskär lighthouse isn't an exception. It's a beautiful place, not too far from Helsinki or Porvoo and well worth a day trip. Just remember to pack some picnic food with you or you can also dine on the boat or have a snack in the café. Climbing up the lighthouse may be a bit scary (if you are afraid of heights like I am) but the scenery is truly worth it! See more..

    Town Hall Square image
    We travelled to this lovely town from Helsinki by bus. It was fast (45 minutes) and comfortable. We walked in narrow streets among the old wooden houses and saw the famous church. We admired the traditional dark-red houses on the river bank. It was beautiful and peaceful. In the centre we saw the nice Town Hall Square. I think it’s a must-see attraction. See more..

    Orthodox Church Porvoo image
    Our guide took us for a ride to Porvoo, which is a charming village of wooden houses about an hour outside of Helsinki. We visited this church, built in 1450, and containing some symbols of ancient Christianity. We walked the cobblestone streets of town, and shopped in the small boutiques. It was a worthwhile visit.

    - Castle tour by Count Creutz
    Points of Interest & Landmarks • Castles
    Malmgård image
    We were given a tour of Malmgard, a castle dating to 1600's by the actual Count Creutz. He gave a guided tour of his home as well as the history of the property. We then had a light lunch, served in what used to be the home of the dairyman, now a small cafe. We tasted several microbrews that are brewed on the property. The farm is also a working farm , specializing in organic farming. There is a small shop attached to the microbrewery where organic cooking products are sold. We truly enjoyed the unique experience and I would highly recommend it. You can arrange a tour through porvoo tours or through the website Malmgard.fi See more..
