Fun fact: The Porvoo old town hall was featured in the 1997 Bruce Willis movie The Jackal.

Excellent choice for summer city.

The chocolate You bought in Porvoo are from the brand Brunberg, a chocolate and candy factory in Porvoo, over 150 yrs. old. Great times visiting the factory as a kid😊

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Wow that is incredible :) It was delicious

[@miskahelberg4092]

Porvoo is always so beautiful to look at in the summer. 🥰 Thanks for the video!

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

It was so gorgeous! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@cathystopfer4890]

Love the video, and, totes are awesome! grocery bags, laundry bags, luggage and such interesting art.

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Thank you so much!! And glad you understand 😉 totally love totes!!

[@mottee]

So nice that you had a good time! Such familiar scenes 😊We live near Porvoo and visit the city almost every week. Tuorilan kotileipomo (Tuorila's Home Bakery) is by the route and we often stop there to buy fresh bread and pastries.

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Wow amazing 🤗 It’s such a charming city

[@04400funk]

I've born in Porvoo 36 years ago, but had never visited there since then, although i live in Helsinki now. Maybe is time for daytrip in this summer.

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Oh wow that’s so interesting! It’s the perfect day trip

[@oh2mp]

I again saw that you had a very good time. That was a good choice for a daytrip because Porvoo is so lovely. Unfortunately I haven't been there for years, I usually just pass it by the highway when I drive to eastern Finland to see my relatives.

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Oh wow I bet that is a lovely drive in the summer 😊 Kiitos for watching 👋🏼

Yei, my hometown ☺️

5:35 - Yes. That bag is amazing. :)

Thank you! 😄

That Andrews Bakery waitress explained it so well, it's really hard to translate things like that when we are in a homely restaurant or other service-like setting we (or girls especially) don't even seem to say bye, just thanks but with different intonation, even I as a native had not realized it until she spelled it out, I'm half flabbergasted from this realization.

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Wow thats really cool to hear :)

[@petejoki]

Moi ,kiitos💞

Fun fact #1. 0:54 Porvoo is officilaly bi-lingual, that's why to sign has two names for the town, Porvoo and Borgå (Swedish). Actually it's the same with Helsinki/Helsingfors. Fun fact#2: To be precise, 3:07 you didn't have a blueberry pie but a bilberry pie :) Bilberries are wild "blueberries", very common in Finland. Smaller, darker and stronger taste.

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Super interesting :) Yeah we made the bilberry/blueberry error in another video as well and a viewer got quite offended 😅. However we had recorded all of these videos before we realized the difference! So interesting. We honestly just thought it was the word for blueberry in Finnish :) Either way, it was DELICIOUS THanks for sharing :)

[@mikrokupu]

@@JourneywithJenandDrew Yes some take blueberries very seriously 😁

[@jattikuukunen]

Most Finns probably don't know that the berries that grow here in every forest (mustikka) are not in fact blueberries in English. I'm still a bit mad since I found out recently. We call American blueberries 'pensasmustikka' (pensas means a shrub or a bench), but most of the time I would just forget that they even exist.

[@House_of_Caine]

Finnish blueberries taste as amazing as they do, because they're gathered from the forest, rather than grown on a farm.

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Amazing ❤️

Borgå

[@k1solkin]

Vanha Rauma in western Finland (Old Rauma) has similar wooden buildings than Old Porvoo. Old Rauma is much bigger and its also Unesco´s World heritage site unlike old Porvoo. However old Porvoo is more popular because finnish media is so Helsinki concentrated. Thats sad.

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Oh wow that is very interesting

[@ArchieArpeggio]

We have similar part of city in Kokkola too and in Raahe that is about 120 km north from Kokkola. Those areas are beautifull and nice places to visit at summertime. Day trips in small cities are nice hobby even for finnish people. Such relaxing from the busy bigger cities like Helsinki, Tampere, Turku and Oulu. Of course it´s some times nice to travel any city big or small and spend lovely day exploring around.
