Which Cities In Finland (if any) Have a Medieval Architecture?
When I visited Helsinki, it was arguably the most avant-garde capital in Europe. That's because it had been founded in the late Middle Ages, and apparently had been partially rebuilt even later (after a fire).
Are there any current major Finnish cities (or even former ones, like Vyborg) where the architecture is medieval, or at least "pre modern" (before the lat 1600s)?
Best Answer
A city that is very near to Helsinki (maybe 1 hour by direct bus connection) is Porvoo. There are some medieval buildings remaining, but unfortunately it is also very touristy. You can also visit it from Helsinki by boat or train.
