Hakaniemen tori

Good marketplace in Hakaniemi 6 Sörnäisten rantatie
Hakaniemi
Helsinki 00530
Finland
Kauppatori was previously dominated by upper-class shoppers, whereas Hakaniemi was dominated by the working classes. Nowadays this has changed, and while many tourists favour Kauppatori, a lot of the locals living in Helsinki regularly go to Hakaniemi marketplace instead. Here you will find for example flowers, pastries, vegetables, fruit and berries.

Kauppatori

The best market in Helsinki Eteläsatama
Helsinki 00130
Finland
Kauppatori's cobblestone square is a great place to buy fresh flowers, fish and vegetables. Enjoy old-fashioned Finnish Eskimo ice cream or one of the renowned meat pasties or doughnuts. Don't miss the daily changing of the Guard at the Presidential Palace. In the center of the square stands an obelisk topped by a two-headed bronze eagle; this is Keisarinnankivi, the Czarina's stone, erected in 1835 to honour the visit of Czarina Alexandra. See the 1908 naked mermaid that caused quite a stir, but is now an important symbol of Helsinki.

Wanha Kauppahalli

Market hall in the centre Eteläranta
Helsinki 00130
Finland
+358 09 636 177 Next to Kauppatori market square, behind the ports and the Kolera-allas part of the port stands the Old Market Hall, a red and yellow-brick building built in 1888. The recently renovated, polished-pine hall is a great place to do some shopping for Finnish delicacies, especially in the winter. Here you will find fishmongers, butchers, bakers, cheese, fruit and vegetable shops, and souvenirs. If you are not interested in shopping it is always worth walking here just to have some lunch in one of the little restaurants and cafés. Kultasuklaa is a paradise for chocolate-lovers, and Robert Paulig has an excellent coffee and tea selection. One of the few sushi bars in Helsinki is situated here, too.
