On Saturday, we shall make an excursion to Helsinki – the capital of Finland – and to some of its main tourist attractions and important historical places, with English and German speaking guides. You will have free time in the afternoon for your own sightseeing and shopping. On Sunday, we shall show the Montreals to the people of Porvoo, while we familiarize ourselves with this idyllic and historically important small town. To conclude the programme we shall have lunch at another Manor near Porvoo. You are warmly invited to participate in the 25th European Montreal Meeting “Light Monti Nights”, which will be held in Finland for the second time now, at a period when there is daylight 20 hours a day in Southern Finland, and when nature is at its most beautiful.
