Seriously difficult to rate one stop above others as anything in this market is going to be good…read more Solid bars good options at several stalls and cute shops to hunt for that special item. Bonus that this has restrooms and is inside - a great way to get out of the cold! Though there ARE opportunities to sit a spell, people watching here might be limited (if that's your thing) as the hallway around the market is more narrow and doesn't have much room to sit and only one or two stalls have seating areas. Service at each business is fast as it can be for a popular place and of course the value for your spend might be limited as well because there are tourists everywhere! When in doubt grab a sweet roll!

Everything is gluten free and healthy. We shared the reindeer potato with blue cheese and lingonberry at the suggestion of the server. Also added pickles and beet slaw. This was very good. We also had a cheese cake and sponge cake from two other vendors. We had hoped to go here twice but ran out of time as the close at 6:00 and we couldn't get back in time for a second round.

When Jamie W. and I ventured to Helsinki this past year, we had no idea where to stroll as we…read morebraced ourselves for the brisk Nordic climate. The irony is that it's genuinely easy to traverse the city center. The Yelp app plus the city's enormously efficient public transit certainly helped us to get to some interesting spots like this food hall which has a distinctly American vibe to it. Of course, my bias probably comes from being an American, but it did remind me of Chelsea Market in NYC, Pike Place Market in Seattle, and as Autumn mentioned, the Ferry Building in San Francisco. It's full of mostly culinary vendors reflecting how diverse the Finnish palate is. It wasn't crowded when we entered the hall, but you could tell the most popular spots among the locals were Street Gastro where they serve up specialty sandwiches, Stadin Herkut with their Mediterranean and Middle Eastern delicacies (photo: http://bit.ly/2kDMSTD), Robert's Coffee (photo: http://bit.ly/2jSR79e), and Fat Ramen where we ended up for lunch (review: http://bit.ly/2ldBlqC). The atmospheric hall opened in 1903, although it went through several iterations before becoming a food hall just five years ago. Definitely worth a stop.

This is Helsinki's answer to The Ferry Building in my native SF. Much like my condo location in SF,…read moreI live just near here on Bulevardi. I frequent the flea market because I'm cheap like that. I buy my produce at the Kauppahalli because I'm not cheap like that. The produce is beautiful, there is a huge array of sweets, treats, and food stalls/cafes. The cupcake lady, the Spanish delicacy stand, and the juice bar are favorites. Robert's coffee is not. But that's my bone to pick and I'll review where a review is due: on their Yelp page. I have it on good authority that Roslun makes the best burgers in town (I'm a vegetarian) and that the ramen shop is pretty good too. I can vouch for the French Cafe and the classic Finnish cafeteria in the back. They are the only place that has baby seats. That's good to know if you have a kid who needs one of those. This is the perfect place to go as a local (for the staples and some treats or a quick lunch/snack out with friends away from the city center) or tourists (it is teeming with them in the Summer). It's a go-to for friends visiting from out of town; flea market then market hall = a good 3 hours of your day knocked out in one small space. Highly recommend the fresh fruits and veggies, meats, fish, cheese, breads, pastries, and sweets. The kitschy tourist-y stuff can be good too. I really like the olive oil soaps that one of the stalls sells. Overall, I am really thankful they're here and so close to home. Because a girl can live on cucumber, tomatoes, and apples from S Market for only so long ;)

I really like flea markets. And secondhand stores. My mom is a treasure hunter and antiques lover…read more I grew up scouring American flea markets and thrift shops as a child and the love of the hunt has stayed with me. This is a great flea market in a beautiful location next to the seaside. The new market hall here is wonderful for foods ranging from ready-made to fresh produce, meats and fish, and sweets and coffee. The flea market itself is huge by city standards and heavy on womens' clothing, handbags, and knick-knacks. I have never seen many large items like furniture here but household goods abound. Comic books, records, jewelry, antique dishware...you name it, it's probably here. This is my favorite flea market: open air (fresh, seaside open air), great location, easy to get to by transit or foot, and rooted by a great place for food and drink. This is an activity that is easy to make a whole afternoon out of. Today's finds included baby clothes for .20 a piece, games for my classroom at around €2 apiece, and very expensive barely-used infant gear for about 1/20 of the retail price. There are a lot of great handbag deals on genuine and knock-off designer pieces if you're into that sort of thing. And I'm not talking about Chinatown type of stuff. I'm talking about the real deal.

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!

The vendors offer high quality produce and flowers or fish. It's so nice to take a coffee break in one of those coffee tents while weather permits.

Should you be looking for a parking space, good luck with that! If you do take a Taxi they can easily drop you off or pick you up when you are done enjoying your market experience.
