Know what's awesome when you're in a new place and off by 10 hours?....A 24 hour market!
Located in the basement of a large building just down from the Ruoholahti metro station, this place was an absolute Mecca for us at 5 am when our kids had already been up for 2 hours!
The place is set up like a Fred Meyer or Super Target in the states - they've got a full grocery store and a pretty solid department store as well. Many do the K-markets in the metro stations are smallish, but this one is BIG! The beverage, produce, meats, cheeses and pastry sections were all very large. Word to the wise - you can't buy any beer until after 9 am. The selection was as good as anything we've got back home and was great to be able to hit up any time of day!
The prices were fair and everyone was very nice! We found out we needed to weigh fruits, veggies and pastries and you should too! It'll make the check out process a lot quicker .
They've even got carts with kid cars attached - a popular thing to fight over for our guys!
All in all, it's hard to beat a place like this when you come to visit from far away! read more
