Welcome to the City of Pori!
…even the grass is greener here.
Finland, the country of unspoilt nature and exotic Northern scenery attracts many. The long, light summer nights and the white snowy winters make the Nordic countries a unique place in which to live.
Finland’s advantage in international competition has for a long time been the careful cultivation of our design and know-how, both technological and innovative, all of which have contributed to our present
success.
Pori is situated on the west coast of Finland. An essential characteristic of the area is its centuries-long history of trade — the port brought in people and goods from distant lands and the people of Pori soon learned to appreciate the possibilities for international trade. The river flowing through the beautiful city has attracted visitors from near and far. All this has made the Pori people friendly and hospitable. As the tenth largest city in Finland, Pori provides a diversity of everyday services and welfare, from education and health care to culture and other leisure activities. The following pages include practical information to help you feel at home – welcome to Pori!
