Porvoo is a small town located just 50 kilometers east of Helsinki. It is best known for its picturesque medieval architecture and its location on the river Porvoo. The town was founded in the 13th century and has been inhabited ever since. Today, it is a popular tourist destination, especially in the summer when the river is full of boats and the streets are filled with people. There are a number of restaurants and cafes in the town, as well as a few small shops. The main attraction, however, is the old town center, which is full of narrow streets, colorful houses, and beautiful churches.
