Hakaniemi Market Hall

Warm, authentic Helsinki – loved it! Hakaniemi Market Hall is a truly authentic and welcoming spot in central Helsinki. Recently renovated, it strikes the perfect balance between local charm and light tourism, without feeling commercial. The ground floor is filled with beautifully presented food and craft stalls – fresh produce, fish, spices, coffee, design items. A cosy restaurant sits upstairs, but you’ll also find plenty of snacks and sweet treats scattered throughout. Warm atmosphere, friendly vendors, and a great place to enjoy a taste of everyday Helsinki with style.

If you wanna feel something about the traditional market hall atmosphere in Helsinki, you have to go to Hakaniemi. Compared to Old Market Hall close to Market Square, Market Hall in Hakaniemi has kept at least something of the old market hall culture. There are store which sell fresh vegetables, fish, meat... and handicrafts, souveniers etc.; and there are some small restaurants to eat and coffee shops to enjoy. Nice place to visit.

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!

It is a good Market Place. When we visited, it was super crowded. do not know it is everyday situation or only on weekends. Very Lively. You can buy all the variety of meats and fish available. All were looking fresh and. But this is 100% not a touristy place. so tourist please avoid as there is literally nothing you can see something special or enjoy.

The market is old on the outside but modern inside. As you walk in, there's fish and meat. It's incredibly fresh. Walking on there's a variety of foods with candy at the end. That's where I stopped for 'souvenirs'. An escalator takes you to the second floor where craftsmen mend clothes, make material, leather and wood wares. There are many postcards and some art pieces. It's a lovely place to stop.

Met a very nice vendor who had two stalls, forgot the name tho, he's very nice, we bought more than we normally would because he was nice. Also got a great chocolate korvapuusti

A real gem of a food hall. Great variety of food on offer, high quality & reasonably priced.

First floor had a lot of wonderful looking local ingredients, fresh produce and meat. Second floor had more crafts and art from local artists. Found a metal rose I am very happy with. Worth the visit if in the area but I would not make a special trip.
