Continue to Porvoo, one of Finland’s oldest towns, where cobblestone streets and colorful wooden houses create a storybook setting. Explore Porvoo Old Town and its 15th-century Cathedral, then admire the famous Red Riverside Warehouses (Porvoon Jokiranta) reflected in the tranquil river.

End your day with a relaxing ride back to Helsinki, filled with lasting memories of Finnish beauty and heritage.
