Eteläranta Waterfront Panorama

A Panorama of the Kokemäenjoki Waterfront

This elevated view looks out across Pori from the Eteläranta embankment, tracing the course of the broad Kokemäenjoki river as it flows through the heart of the town toward the Gulf of Bothnia. The low-rise skyline of church towers and civic rooftops gives the panorama its distinctly Finnish character.

A Historic Nordic Town

Founded in the sixteenth century, Pori is one of the principal towns of the Satakunta region on Finland's west coast. Its compact centre, riverside parks and neoclassical landmarks are all visible in this wide urban vista.

Watching the Nordic Sky

The generous expanse of sky above the rooftops makes this a rewarding vantage point for observing the ever-changing Nordic light, the high-latitude cloudscapes and the long horizon over the Bothnian coast.
