Do you want to feel the soul of Finland? See its variety of culture and gastronomy ! There are always fresh vegetables , berries and delicious Finish salmon soup !

A huge outdoor market near the port , where you can find souvenirs in good prices and fresh fruits . Touristy but that's no reason not to try some traditional meatballs with vegetables and sauce!

Fedor Muhosranskiy

U can find here a lot of souveniers, berries , jam and other tourist stuff. Very crowded place, boats to Helsinki Zoo and Fortress Suomenlinna go from this place

Otto Alfeld

Brilliant market . Come here for all kinds of venison , baked goods , coffee and beer . Be sure not to miss the salmon soup at the " soup kitchen" https://www.katijafille.fi/soppakeittio/

Square at Helsinki’s main south harbour that hosts an outdoor market at weekends throughout the year & most days during the summer. Mainly aimed at tourists , but the street food is very good.

Ville Kauppi

THE market area in Helsinki. Buy some fresh berries and vegetables , take a seat and have some coffee with pie or grab a ferry to various Helsinki islands !

Frank Teschen

The market on Kauppatori is certainly worth a visit. I especially liked the crispy little fishes that the Fins eat like chips . I am not big on fish , but those are really yummy.

We were able to buy fresh cloudberries here from one of the stands. We had been wanting to try them after hearing about them from locals all throughout our trip.

Kat Robinson

FULL of tourists but I like walking around here... if only for a few minutes before escaping the crowds. Go here for your typical souvenirs (ya know, a reindeer pelt or two)

Don't feed the birds at all! And the birds will attack your food immediately, so when a vendor hands you the food, cover it with one hand. Throw your trash in the bins-don't leave on the tables.

Hadis Kalantar

We had such a fantastic time having these wonderful salmone dishes at the seaside ☺️

Fresh berries ! Find Mehmet Abi and see how many kinds of berries can be ????

antti ka

Price for berries or fish plates varies +-2€ between vendors but the product is the same. Hot food might be at a discount starting around 4pm or whenever they start packing up.

Matilda K

At the Market Square you can find vegetables to souvenirs . Sip on a coffee and watch the bustle of the square and admire the near departing passenger ships. Maybe decide on a ferry ride to Suomenlinna

Ms Soe

It's a must to try the salmon soup here..taste like heaven????????

Lots of booths selling produce. Other booths selling tourist crap. Beware the intrusive seagulls .

Take a stroll around at these markets , then you can hop on an easy ferry ride to Suomenlinna Fortress or visit the nearby Uspenski Cathedral .

Lively market square.

Expensive fish dishes , full of frying oil. Plenty of seagulls that attack unprepared people.

Bustling place for those looking to hop a ferry tour or taking a trip to Soumenlinna but food options were tasteless, disappointing and overpriced and the souvenirs generic - complete tourist trap.
