KAUPPAHALLI – COVERED MARKET

In the centre of Turku there is a covered market dating from the 19th century, built in 1896.
When you enter through the original gates, you will discover two alleys with some 70 stalls overflowing with fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, souvenirs, cheese, pastries, ecological products. The atmosphere has kept the authentic atmosphere of the halls of the time and you must take the time to observe the picturesque atmosphere of the traditional shops.

The choice of traditional or even foreign food is impressive and one wants to buy everything for everyone to taste. We had the opportunity to buy in this market two specialities. For my part I was a little disappointed, original but dry.

However the atmosphere is very welcoming and the people are very smiling and very friendly.
At the back of the market there are even restaurants with bars and tables to sit down and take the time to taste your dish on the spot. The kitchens are open and you can watch the preparations.
