Want to try some dried reindeer meat? Perhaps a reindeer kebab? Or just sit down for a quick meal in a cafe? This is a great place to pick up food for a picnic or a quick cheap dinner in your hotel room. While the market isn't huge compared to say the central markets in Riga or Budapest, it is... More

Old Market Hall has a lot of small shops. Finnish food at it's best. Souveniers and finnish tea, coffee, candies. Stop by for a coffee or for lunch, and enjoy the atmosphere! Locals come here to get their fish, meat and vegetables. A bit more expensive than big foodmarkets, but a market hall is always a market hall :)

This is a smaller indoor market hall right on the waterfront. It features a wide variety of food products — everything from fresh seafood to local cheese, jam and pastries. There's even a health food vendor. Even if you don't purchase anything, it's very interesting to look at! The market consists of two long aisles with a central open area... More

Great food here - tried bear & reindeer salami, reindeer meatballs and local foods, cheeses etc. Definitely a foodie stop when touring Finland. Friendly, helpful staff & you're spoilt for choice with the variety on offer. Stay and enjoy or take some samples home for later.

It's a good way to participate in the real finish way of life. Although there's no 'tramps' it's - like always - great and good differences between the 'boutiques'.

This market was almost, if not just as, impressive as the outdoor market nearby. We really enjoyed strolling these indoor grounds, admiring the great presentation, hygienic and tasty appearance of the food on offer here. This is something we spend the time/money to do so well in our Asian market back home. This particular market made us almost want to... More
