The busy Market Square with its orange capped stalls lies between the sea and an impressive row of historical buildings, including City Hall, the Swedish Embassy and the Presidential Palace. Rising
out of the fountain near the Esplanade Park at the western end of the Market is the statue of Havis Amanda, the mermaid symbol of Helsinki. The hustle and bustle of the market and its appetising aromas act as a magnet for shoppers and for anyone looking for a snack or a coffee.

Address: Kauppatori
Directions: At the east end of the Esplanadi Boulevard
