Laivasilta
Getting around: Along the Porvoonjoki riverfront in central Porvoo, below the Old Town.
Hours: Open at all times; boat tours run seasonally, mostly summer.
Laivasilta is Porvoo's riverside quay, lined with the town's iconic red wooden warehouses reflected in the river — one of Finland's most photographed views. It is also the departure point for river and coastal boat tours in summer.
Worth timing for good light (morning or early evening) given how much the view depends on water reflections.
