Full description
Private excursion to Helsinki and Porvoo with a Spanish-speaking guide and transportation, to see Senate Square, the Sibelius Monument and Porvoo's medieval old town.
This private excursion combines a tour of Helsinki, the capital and largest city of Finland, with a visit to Porvoo, the country's second oldest town after Turku, located 50 km away. It is carried out with a Spanish-speaking guide and transportation throughout, with pickup and return to the port or the hotel.
In Helsinki, the route goes through Senate Square, home to the neoclassical Lutheran Cathedral and the nearby Orthodox Uspenski Cathedral, considered one of the largest in Western Europe. The square is also home to the Council of State building, the seat of Finland's senate until 1907, and the University of Helsinki building. The tour also includes the Sibelius Monument, the work of sculptor Eila Hiltunen, made up of hundreds of steel pipes, and Market Square, by the sea, a popular spot to try salmon, reindeer meat and traditional dishes.
The excursion then continues to Porvoo, whose medieval old town preserves mostly wooden buildings. Among the most visited places are Old Porvoo and its cathedral, along with the row of red wooden warehouses on the riverbank, the most photogenic view of the town.
Entrance to the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral and lunch at a downtown restaurant are not included and are offered as optional supplements. As it is a private tour, the experience is carried out exclusively for your group, an ideal option for cruise passengers, families or groups who want to see Helsinki and Porvoo comfortably.
