Riimikko – Old style toys

Riimikko is a fantastic toy store in the Porvoo old town. It specialises in old-time toys, such as wooden cars, traditional puzzles and so forth. You probably don’t find anything that needs batteries or makes sounds.

Old style toys in Riimikko, Porvoo

There are toys from both local artisans and multi-national toy manufacturers alike. Some of the toys are really traditional, designs dating back decades or even centuries, and some are more recent, such as miniature cars from fifties or seventies.

The items are surprisingly inexpensive; I was expecting them to be more pricey, as the shop is in the middle of the heavy tourist area in the Porvoo old town.
