Our tour driver was able to drop us off and let us shop a bit, and we were able to pick up a moomin card holder for the honey and quite a few wooden ornaments for my mother. It was honestly a bit hard to decide between them all because there were so many gorgeous pieces to choose from. All in all, the service was incredibly friendly and helpful and we would absolutely come back.

Great gift shop! I went twice during my few days in Helsinki and referred friends to the shop. The…read moreteam is fantastic! Very helpful, no pushy sales pitch, and gives honest feedback when trying on sweaters (they have other offerings). Between the four of us I think we purchased at least 7. The shop has a great selection and wish I could get back more frequently.

We went to several souvenir shops in Helsinki during our time in Finland looking for Christmas ornaments in July and this shop was probably the highest quality with the best value and selection outside of perhaps Annie's Gift Shop (Annensoppi). The service was hands off but friendly and I was glad to find a few pieces for my mother for Christmas. All in all, if you want some wooden holiday ornaments, especially off season, I would absolutely stop in here first.

I've been a fan of the Marimekko brand for a while now and I'm SO honored I got to visit a…read moreMarimekko store in the home land. Getting to walk into this store felt like a dream. From the vibrant colors and textiles to the bold and colorful house decor, everything about the colorful Marimekko design resonates with me and brings my soul so much happiness. I left with a happy heart but also an adorable and colorful Marimekko little hand bag that I'll never forget. This brand is everything and I'm absolutely obsessed with their design and colorful culture.

It's very expensive but a lot of it is worth it because of the cool design. Definitely worth the money and recommend shopping here if you're visiting Helsinki.

Vanha kauppahalli or Old Market Hall, is a smaller food hall that unlike some of the others we…read morevisited in Sweden and Denmark, is shotgun style with two lanes straight up and down. There was very little seating outside of the few shops that have it built in (which can only be used by their customers) and the shops are on the smaller side and a little more touristy than you'd expect. Another friendly reminder that Reindeer jerky can't be brought into the US, so if you do purchase it here, make sure to eat it before you get on the plane to head home. All in all it's a cute little food hall with an okay selection, but we liked the ones in Stockholm and Copenhagen better since they were larger and more of a deli style.

Seriously difficult to rate one stop above others as anything in this market is going to be good…read more Solid bars good options at several stalls and cute shops to hunt for that special item. Bonus that this has restrooms and is inside - a great way to get out of the cold! Though there ARE opportunities to sit a spell, people watching here might be limited (if that's your thing) as the hallway around the market is more narrow and doesn't have much room to sit and only one or two stalls have seating areas. Service at each business is fast as it can be for a popular place and of course the value for your spend might be limited as well because there are tourists everywhere! When in doubt grab a sweet roll!

I thought it was very fun that part of the Muji store was actually not Muji. There was a small section for a luxury resale store, and there was also a section that featured local artists and their goods. I ended up buying a cute Helsinki wood magnet here and my friend brought some Finland prints. The prices did not seem too bad for most of the items. Prints were like 1-2 euros. I saw someone selling really cute stickers, magnets, prints, etc. and it reminded me of my home local craft fairs. The rest of Muji (Muji proper) had your usual Muji goods like stationery, clothing, home goods, etc. I love all of this stuff and wish I could take everything home. I'm fond of their notebooks and pens, travel accessories, home slippers, clothing, etc. They also have a lot of cool packaged snacks that looked interesting to try.
