Summer holidays for us this year means spending time at our summer-house and making so visits to nearby towns, getting to know and see some the local sights. Tourist visit these places so maybe we should also refresh our knowledge of some of the beautiful places in Finland. This is our forh place so far, few more to go .
Porvoo is Finland’s second oldest town, a beautiful city full of history. The timeless and unique atmosphere in Old Porvoo attracts travellers from all over the world.Six towns were established in Finland during the Middle Ages. Some of them grew to be towns without any official order having been issued. This was the case with Porvoo, which got the town rights after Turku in the 14th century.

När jag tittade på bilderna av Porvoo tyckte jag att jag kände igen mig – utan att någonsin ha varit där. Sedan kom jag på det – Gunilla på bloggen http://gbkoru.blogspot.se/ har visat miljöer däriftån och har Borgå i sin header.
Dina bilder är fina – som vanligt. Intressant “beskurna”.
