When visitors come to Pori, they must absolutely visit our beutiful park, Kirjurinluoto. Kirjurinluoto is situated by the river Kokemäenjoki. There are all sorts of birds by the summertime in Kirjurinluoto, for example swans, ducks, gees and also little baby coats. You should come to Pori in the middle of july because the Pori Jazz festival takes place at that time. You should also visit our famous beach, Yyteri, that is known as the best beach in Skandinavia. For me as I have lived in Pori my whole life, it has become a little too small. But still I consider it as one the most nicest place in the world and I could never leave it completely.

Walk around the Kokemäenjoki River bank. Kokemäenjoki river runs through Pori's centre and offers scenic views especially in summertime. Located in the river is Kirjurinluoto island, a lovely park connected to centre with a not-too-long bridge (not for motor vehicles). There is a lot of ponds with swans and other birds, also peacocks. There's a summer theatre, a small beach right in the centre (!), not to forget arena for Jazz Festival and other concerts.
In the picture behind me on the left Pori's centre and in the right begins Kirjurinluoto island.

It was great sleeping below stars with what seemed more a 8pm skye than the night one!!!
