Old Porvoo is the historic center of Finland's second-oldest town: cobbled lanes, colorful wooden houses, and red-ochre warehouses along the river, most built in the 1760s. Kids can pick out treats at Brunberg's and two other chocolate shops, visit the Toy Museum, and climb to the 15th-century cathedral on the hill. Riverbank lawns, the Moomin playground and Rose Park on Laivurinkatu make easy picnic stops.
