Pikku-Pietarin Market Alley
Just off Puistokatu, Pikku-Pietarin Market Alley is an atmospheric narrow lane of renovated red wooden houses converted into quirky shops stocking jewellery, clothing, handicrafts and other items. Halfway along is an excellent cafe with cosy upstairs seating and a great little back deck for the summer sun.

Kauppahalli
At the southern end of the kauppatori is this classic Finnish indoor market hall. Here, wrapped in foil, stalls sell local speciality kalakukko, a large rye loaf stuffed with whitefish and then baked. It’s delicious hot or cold but you’ll probably have to buy a whole one (around €20), enough for several picnics.

Craft Shops
Linnankatu, the quaint back street running up towards the castle, is lined with old wooden houses, some of which are craft shops and studios selling local handicrafts at hefty prices. There's some good quality here though.
