Introduction
Market Square is Helsinki's traditional open-air market by the harbor—a lively square of goods, food and street life, great for feeling Helsinki's everyday and seaside flavor, a busy city core. Market Square sits in the old-town center by the harbor, long a lively open market. In warm seasons, stalls sell produce, berries (wild blueberries, cloudberries), flowers, Finnish handicrafts, souvenirs, furs; food stalls serve Finnish snacks (fried small fish, stews, sausages, traditional pastries). Uniquely, it sits by the harbor facing the Baltic—you can shop and eat while watching boats and ferries (ferries to Suomenlinna leave here); nearby is the historic Old Market Hall and the Havis Amanda fountain. Strolling the market square and tasting Finnish food by the harbor is a great experience.
