Hakaniemi Market Hall

Hakaniemi Halli is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Helsinki! My visit was an absolute delight, filled with amazing food, unique finds, and a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. First, I indulged in a classic Finnish laskiaispulla—a soft, fluffy bun filled with whipped cream and almond paste, topped with a dusting of powdered sugar. Paired with a crispy and nutty pistachio baklava, it was a match made in heaven! To wash it down, I grabbed a bottle of Laitilan O.Pom, a refreshing and slightly tangy fruit soda that perfectly complemented my sweet treats. The fresh produce section was equally impressive! I picked up some organic vegetables in a charming eco-friendly bag, a testament to Hakaniemi Halli’s commitment to quality and sustainability. The selection was fantastic, with colorful, fresh greens and locally sourced goods. One of the highlights of my visit was discovering the Uusix shop, a treasure trove of handmade and upcycled Finnish crafts. I found a beautifully designed wooden spoon, elegantly wrapped, that showcases the craftsmanship and creativity of Finnish artisans. Overall, Hakaniemi Halli exceeded all expectations! The combination of delicious food, fresh produce, and unique handmade products makes it a must-visit spot in Helsinki. Whether you’re looking for a tasty treat, quality groceries, or a one-of-a-kind souvenir, this market hall has it all. I can’t wait to go back!

Hakaniemi Market Hall is a lively and historic spot in Helsinki, offering fresh local produce, handmade goods, and traditional Finnish treats. It’s the perfect place to explore Finnish culture and enjoy a cozy market atmosphere.

The cleanest market I’ve ever seen, butcher, bakery, cafes and souvenirs are there in their specialties.

Very well sorted market in Helsinki. A bit expensive but all very good quality.

The market is large with two floors with all kinds of items, fresh food and selling items that S market and K market do not have. Mainly the customers here are locals. There are also garments for sale and you can fix leather here The location is easy to find right next to the Hakaniemi metro

Beautiful renovated hall. Fresh produce, fish and meats and many deli options. Nice to have a quick breakfast as well.

The market is now back in its original location but I miss the temporary market which was more spacious and lifted the experience of shopping, browsing and exploring while retaining the classic market hall heritage. The renovated market is too compartmentalized, white, has too many spotlights and gives a sterile feeling. At the same time, it get catastrophic as the rows and lanes feel narrow. Sounds reverberate alot when we visited in the evening giving echoes all around. Not sure how things will be at peak hour when the market is full of people.

Such a fun place to visit in Helsinki. Definitely has it share of locals as well as local food options that feel traditional but also friendly enough for tourists looking for authentic finish souvenirs
