Market Square

"This picturesque open-air market is a central part of the city’s daily life and a must-visit for tourists. Established in the early 19th century, the square has long been a focal point for commerce and social gatherings. Its waterfront location makes it an ideal starting point for exploring Helsinki, with ferries to the nearby islands and boat tours departing regularly from its docks. The market offers a sensory feast with its array of fresh produce, including berries, vegetables, and the renowned Finnish salmon. Visitors can savor traditional Finnish foods, such as hearty lohikeitto (salmon soup) and a variety of pastries, while browsing through stalls that sell local handicrafts and souvenirs. The seasonal markets are a highlight, with different offerings depending on the time of year, from vibrant spring flowers to festive Christmas decorations and treats."

"This is the main market of Helsinki. Don't miss the opportunity to try some typical salmon soup or roasted salmon with potatoes."
