Start Your Culinary Journey at the Historic Market Hall

We begin our Helsinki food tour at the iconic Old Market Hall, located by the city’s bustling Market Square. Opened in 1889, the hall is filled with the aroma of smoked fish, artisan cheeses, reindeer meat, seasonal berries, and fresh-baked rye bread. This is where locals shop for authentic ingredients, and you’ll get to taste the best of what Finland’s land and sea offer.
