Market shopping in Tampere

  1. A

    Kauppahalli

    This intriguing indoor market is one of Finland’s best, with picturesque wooden stalls serving a dazzling array of wonderful meat, fruit, baked goodies and fish. There are good cafes, and, at No 50, Teivon Liha, the best place to try cheap mustamakkara with berry jam.

    Hämeenkatu

    Cobbled Hämeenkatu is Tampere's broad main street, running east-west from the train station to Hämeenpuisto, and it's along (or just off) here that you'll find most of the city's top restaurants, cafés, bars and the kauppatori (market square), where you can sample Tampere's scary speciality, mustamakkara (blood sausage). Also here is the kauppahalli (market hall), but in Tampere it's indistinguishable from the rest of the streetscape.

    Kehräsaari

    Across the footbridge from Verkaranta, just east of Laukontori Market Square, this converted brick-factory building has many boutiques selling authentic Finnish glassware, handicrafts, knitted clothing and T-shirts.
