#32 Visiting the old town of Porvoo in winter time
We take a wintery trip to Porvoo, old town and visit the traditional Christmas market in front of the Old Town Hall. We also take a look inside the Porvoo Cathedral and other interesting and beautiful local sights.

I visited Porvoo in February 2019, at a real twist of unlikely weather, when there was no snow in all of coastal southern Finland. It was still so beautiful; the cosiest place I have ever visited. Your video, so beautifully made, allowed me to now see it at its best; breathtakingly beautiful, dressed in all that snow and ice! I'm definitely coming back.

Im so glad you got to see it dressed in its winter gown even virtually. Alot of the snow is melting now since the weather has been above 0. Summer is also a great time to visit Porvoo and there is an old steam boat that goes from Helsinki and up the river to Porvoo.
Thank you Louisa for touring us around one of Finland's beautiful towns, it was lovely!

What a lovely tour...... i liked being part of it.... like i was walking around with you. I too would have gone "oooh" and "ahhh" over that building, and the door, and the old heaters and the tall ceilings ❤ And these foxes! They're so cute! 18:09

I absolutely loved this video! It brings back so many memories of my year in Porvoo, as an art student. You captured the scenery and mood in such a perfect way. You could absolutely make a series about Finnish towns! ❤️

Very interesting to see the differences in what Finnish Christmas decorations look like.

In Finland we don’t do too elaborate decorations. I imagine New York must have quite the opposite. 🤩
Stunning church. Loved this video so much. Beautifully done. Happy New Year to you and your family. Cheers.

Thank you so much! I also think that the Porvoo cathedral is stunning in its simplicity. I wish you and your family a Happy New Year as well. Hugs from Finland
"Glückauf" is an interesting name for a boat, it's a german miners' greeting. Maybe it was used for ore or coal transportation. Thank you for sharing your corner of the world!

@@savingsiskola Hei, rakas ystäväni! Olen täällä ensimmäistä kertaa, kaverit! Olet söpö kun kuuntelet yhdessä vanhaa musiikkia vanhasta radiosta! He puhuivat ja nauroivat paljon! Pidin ympäristöstä, jossa asut, missä vietät kaikki päiväsi! Rakastan Suomea! Rakastan monia asioita! Mielestäni elämä tulee pitää auki, jotta ei väliä milloin, mitä tahansa ja kuka tahansa voi tulla siihen! Valitettavasti en puhu kieliä, mutta olen kommunikoiva ja ystävällinen ihminen. Haluan puhua ja tutustua muihin kulttuureihin! Joten sinä myös! Olen iloinen, että olin täällä! Kiitos paljon mukavista videoistasi ja ystävällisistä kommenteistasi! Tervehdin sinua ystävällisellä rakkaudella Unkarista: Paul. 🙂👋🌷

@@savingsiskola I am following you, for sure! I look forward to seeing your plans progress on your sweet cottage. Cottages here are similar, passed down through families and often a mismash of styles over decades as well. Some have been turned into air bnbs and are renovated and other people build huge cottages that are bigger most peoples' homes here. I prefer the charm and coziness of small cottages myself.
