Pori

The low, riverine terrain around Pori meets the northern Baltic coast, a setting that has shaped both the city’s layout and its trading economy. The Kokemäenjoki River runs through Pori towards the Gulf of Bothnia, linking its urban centre with a long maritime tradition. Founded in 1558 by Duke John of Finland, the city developed as a port and remains a regional cultural centre. Pori Jazz, first held in 1966, brings an international musical presence to the city each summer, while the sandy shores of Yyteri lie on its coastal edge.
