Kauppatori Market Square

  Kauppatori Market Square, nestled by the harbor and close to the iconic Uspenski Cathedral in Helsinki, serves as the city's vibrant heart for local produce and crafts. Dating back to the 18th century, it's been a crucial trading hub where locals and visitors alike can savor fresh food, unique souvenirs, and traditional Finnish delicacies.

As you stroll through, take a moment to admire the nearby statues and historical buildings that enrich the square’s atmosphere.
