Tip: Less touristed than the harbour hall and more of a working market. The upstairs counters are the value lunch play.
Address: Hämeentie 1 A, 00530 Helsinki
The open square outside Hakaniemi hall hosts a daytime produce market, busiest in berry season when strawberries, blueberries and chanterelles fill it.
Tip: Pair the outdoor square with the indoor hall next door. Summer berry season is the time to come for chanterelles and strawberries.
The century-old Hietalahti Market Hall on the western waterfront is now a restaurant and cafe hall, counters cooking from Vietnamese to tapas at night.
Tip: Unlike the other halls it stays open for dinner, latest on Friday and Saturday. A flea market runs on the square outside in summer.
Kauppatori, the open-air market on the South Harbour, is where herring boats tie up each October; summer stalls fry vendace and pile up Finnish berries.
Tip: Best in summer for fried lake fish and berries, and during the October herring market. Watch for aggressive seagulls.

The Old Market Hall by the South Harbour opened in 1889 as Helsinki's first indoor hall; stalls sell smoked fish, reindeer, cheeses and salmon soup.
Tip: Soppakeittiö inside serves the classic lohikeitto salmon soup with unlimited bread. The hall closes by early evening, so come for lunch.
