The market here is open pretty much everyday (except in the winter when they are limited to fewer…read moreshops indoor) and is one of the tourist spot to stop by, either for a regular city tour or while waiting for a ferry to Suomenlinna. The shops sell things ranging from crafts and souvenir to fresh produces like berries and veggies and cafe food. It's a nice quick stroll to see Helsinki life :) (though many tourists come here more than locals I think). Pluses are that there's no entrance fee but, as a big foodie fan, I wish they have more selection for edible food to try out!

I love Zicco. Adorable, warm boutique and very friendly, helpful owner. Prices are incredibly…read morereasonable compared to other children's boutiques in the city. I love their selection of adorable children's clothes, toys, and accessories. I don't know how they squeeze so many treasures and treats for little people of all ages into such a cozy little shop. I can say this: they have a great musical instrument selection for infants/toddlers (their high-quality wooden maracas have saved our lives by soothing our baby boy when nothing else would), Jellycat stuffed toys (a huge favorite in the US and hard to find here), and great sales on their very nice and very unique children's and baby's clothes. I can't walk in without buying something. Plenty of room for prams in the front entrance even if it doesn't look like it!
