Porvoo’s historic center features a collection of 18th-century architecture and Finnish heritage. This selection covers the 15th-century Porvoo Cathedral and the Old Town Hall, which now serves as a museum. Visitors can explore the 1760s Holm House to see period merchant interiors or browse the local confectionery at Brunberg, a chocolate maker operating since 1871. The Doll and Toy Museum houses over 1,000 items dating from the mid-19th century to the present day.
