Audio Guide of Pori Town Hall Park

It is a public park located in the center of Pori, so it is open 24 hours a day all year round. It is located right in front of City Hall and is easily accessible on foot from anywhere in the city center or by local transport.

Access to Pori Town Hall Park is completely free for all visitors. You can stroll through its gardens and admire the exterior architecture of City Hall at no cost.

Summer, especially July, is the best time because the park becomes the epicenter of the famous festival Pori Jazz and the atmosphere is vibrant. For a quiet and photogenic visit, spring mornings are ideal.

Yes, the terrain is mostly flat with paved or compacted gravel paths, which makes wheelchair access easier. It is an inclusive and comfortable place to visit with strollers or limited mobility.

We recommend bringing an audio guide or reading about the history of the statues before you go to better understand the context. If the weather allows, it is the perfect place to take a break and enjoy a coffee from one of the nearby cafés.
