Old Market Hall (Wanha Kauppahalli Palvelee)

Next to Kauppatori market square, behind the ports and the Kolera-allas part of the port stands the Old Market Hall, a red and yellow-brick building built in 1888. Is a great place to do some shopping for Finnish delicacies, especially in the winter. Here you will find fishmongers, butchers, bakers, cheese, fruit and vegetable shops, and souvenirs. If you are not interested in shopping it is always worth walking here just to have some lunch in one of the little restaurants and cafés. Kultasuklaa is a paradise for chocolate-lovers, and Robert Paulig has an excellent coffee and tea selection. One of the few sushi bars in Helsinki is situated here, too
