One of the most popular spots in Helsinki! Introducing the Old Market Hall, a recommended tourist spot where you can also enjoy eating and walking around! ⭐️What is the Old Market Hall? Helsinki's "Old Market Hall (Vanha Kauppahalli)" is the oldest indoor market in Finland, opened in 1889, and is located along Eteläranta Street in the center of Helsinki. This building was designed by architect Gustav Nystrom and built at the end of the 19th century with the aim of improving hygiene standards and orderly markets. Initially, outdoor markets were the norm, but the introduction of indoor markets improved the efficiency of food preservation and trading. Today, the Old Market Hall is lined with about 20 stores, offering a wide selection of local ingredients and specialties, including fresh seafood, meat, dairy products, spices, coffee, and tea. There is also a liquor store "Alko" on the premises, which is popular with tourists and locals alike. Particularly popular are the stores that serve traditional Finnish dishes such as salmon soup and fish sandwiches! There's also an ice cream shop and a shop serving Turkish baked potatoes, kumpir! It's a spot worth visiting where you can enjoy Finnish food culture and local specialties in a historical atmosphere. 🫶 📍Location: Eteläranta, 00130 Helsinki, Finland #0 yen trip

Helsinki's indoor market, which has been around since 1889. There are various shops selling local specialties, souvenirs, cafes, etc. I was hungry, so I tried reindeer soup at SOUP+MORE Vanha Kauppahalli, which was crowded with people. It came with all-you-can-eat bread and cost about €14. The soup was heavy, so I was full 😋 There are also many stalls set up every day in the market square in front of it, so you can enjoy it twice. . . 📍Old Market Hall 🗺️Helsinki (Finland) 🕑8:00-18:00 💤Sunday 💰 - #trip_aug #Europe #WinterTrip

Transportation Guide - Take 600 from Wanta Airport to the city, there will be staff to check the tickets, remember to buy on the website first (ABC area), into the city mostly take the tram (AB area) local attractions - Helsinki is actually very small. Food & Restaurants - Finland is most famous for its salmon, and drinking a bowl of hot salmon cream soup at minus 10 degrees Celsius is one of life's great pleasures. There is an old market hall near the cathedral, which contains many restaurants, which are much cheaper than the restaurants outside the street. * Want to go to Finnishburg to specially take a boat, this time we rushed to Santa Claus Village did not go, if you want to go to Finnishburg is best to expect two days chill chill walk, because such cold weather can not walk so long outside, and mobile phones will quickly run out of battery 😢 #FinlandTravel #NordicTravel #Helsinki

After visiting the nearby cathedral in the sub-zero weather, I came indoors to have a delicious meal and felt very happy. The first half of the market is food from other countries, and the second half is raw seafood or authentic Finnish restaurants. I highly recommend the salmon sandwich and salmon soup. I ate here for two consecutive days. The price is about 6 euros per serving, which is quite cheap compared to other Finnish restaurants.

Located in a small sheltered bay from the market, it is housed in a red brick building, the Vanha Kauppahalli. "The city by the water" is said to be a Finnish tradition that has continued since the 17th century. It opened its doors as early as 1889. For more than 100 years, I have witnessed changes in the political, economic and food trade in Finland. Architect Gustaf Nystrm borrowed from the interior market design of many other major European cities at the time, which ultimately made the building itself a beautiful tourist landscape. There are 64 counters in the market, each with a length of 2 meters and a depth of 2 meters. Together with the central activity area and the aisle, the total area is about 1000 square meters. All the counters in the room are uniformly decorated, the wooden carvings are in the shape of the facade, the color is classical, and the names of the shops are written in the door, which is uniform. The market is designed with a wide slewing center and a free WC. The most market stores are seafood stores. Finland is a paradise for fish lovers. Salmon, Baltic herring, squid and freshwater squid are delicious. The method of cooking is smoked, open fire, steamed and steamed. In addition, raw and salted are also very popular. Finland's extensive forests provide the best conditions for tasting such as reindeer meat and snow chicken. The best way to cook reindeer is to simmer and simmer until the corresponding heat is cooked. The meat is thick and sour, accompanied by sweet and sour Red plum sauce and mashed potatoes are mouth watering. There are also some Nordic-style handicraft shops, especially like the life style of Nordic style goods, it is no wonder that so many people like to visit IKEA
