Vaasa Market Square
Vaasan kauppatori
The city centre's Market Square hosts summer farm produce and snack stalls and is surrounded by pedestrian streets and shopping centres.
Market Square is the everyday heart of central Vaasa, surrounded by pedestrian streets, department stores and cafés. In summer the square hosts stalls selling seasonal berries, fish, handicrafts and snacks, and there are often events and outdoor seating in the evenings. A Christmas market is also held in winter. Monuments such as the Finnish Freedom Statue are nearby, and from here you can walk to Holy Trinity Church, City Hall and the seafront. It is a good place to browse, pick up berries and coffee, and use as the start and end point of a walk around the city.
Opening hours
Stalls approx. 07:00–15:00 (longer in summer)
