In the past, this town was prosperous because there is a good river for trade.
The scenery is preserved well.

People who live here can’t change the wall and the roof easily.

This place is a popular small tourist town in Finland. There are various shops, cafes, restaurants and museums on the stone street.

  1. It looks as if the wooden houses are painted in different colours? That’s nice! Imagine if we could paint the shitamachi houses in such cheerful yellows, reds and blues! ^^

  2. I love Porvoo, it’s so cozy, pretty and old ^.^ We visited Porvoo in 2011. I definitely want to go there again. By the way, we ate vegetarian sushi there :)
