On Brunberg's chocolate factory Finland

Probably the best candy - the "kiss", chocolate covered mousse ball - comes from here. Factory outlet. Don't forget the licorice! 218 days, 21 hours ago

Strange little boutique. They are selling all kinds of stuff, which are made environmentally friendly. I haven't really bought anything yet, but I guess I don't belong to their target group :D

The staff is a bit odd but they are still friendly, so don't be scared :D 7 days, 19 hours ago

On Brunberg's chocolate shop Finland

The most delicious shop in Finland. You can buy the famous Brunberg chocolate kisses here. There are plenty of other goods too. And the prices are ridiculous low :) This is the place where I go first every time when I'm in Porvoo. It's good to continue shopping, when tummy is full of chocolate :D 11 days, 4 hours ago

On Design Deli Finland

This is really a must-go shopping place in Porvoo. All the stuff is hand made Finnish design. Every time I go to Porvoo, I just have to visit here.

Some of the products are a bit expensive, but everything is worth its' price. I allways try to save money and buy only the little things and Ooops! Again I spent 50 euros :D You just can't leave there with out buying something. The more I think of it, the more I want to go there again! 11 days, 4 hours ago

On Porvoo Hostel Finland

Affordable and peaceful place. It costs about 19 euros to sleep in a double room. If you want to party in Porvoo, this might not be the best place to over night, but if you want to just sleep well, this is the right choise. I didn't hear any noices in the night.

The easiest way to contact them and book a room is sending e-mail to porvoohostel@co.inet.fi 39 days, 6 hours ago

Attractive small town. The old town is very interesting with small boutiques and coffeehouses, old wooden houses. The riverside Porvoonjoki is a pleasant place in summertime - like you were abroad! And of course the very old church is worth visiting. I really liked the town 46 days, 18 hours ago
