Around Old Town Porvoo, Finland

Taken in Porvoo, Finland. I was sitting at the Gabriel 1763 restaurant across the street. Porvoo is a nice little tourist town and a good day trip from Helsinki. In this part of Finland, signs have Finnish first, Swedish under it, and sometimes English as a third.. In the photo above, the street is know as Jokikatu in Finnish and Ågatan in Swedish.

 

The old part of town has quite a few nice restaurants and gift shops. Nearby is a pleasant walk along the river (or channel). There are many beautiful boats along the shore.
