Kauppahalli

Tampere


This intriguing indoor market is one of Finland’s best, with picturesque wooden stalls serving a dazzling array of wonderful meats, fruit, baked goodies and fish. If hungry, you can snack on cheap mustamakkara (sausage made with cow's blood) with berry jam or sit down for a French feast at Neljä Vuodenaikaa.
