Discovering the Buzz of Kauppatori

#holidayitinerary Kauppatori in Uusimaa Helsinki is the perfect spot to dive into local life with a super casual vibe. This bustling market square sits right by the waterfront, making it a lively place full of colors, smells, and sounds.

It’s a great place to grab a quick bite or just soak up the friendly atmosphere. The views of the harbor with boats coming and going add a chill seaside feel to the whole experience. Plus, there are often street performers and small events that keep the energy buzzing. Whether you’re here for a quick stop or to explore the city’s heart, Kauppatori in Uusimaa Helsinki is an easygoing spot that gives you a real taste of Finnish culture and everyday life.

The statue is worth mentioning and seeing. For an average visitor it could initially be just a statue with a fountain but for Finnish people it has much more significance. Every time Finland is able to win an important gold medal especially in ice hockey, people gather around the statue and climb to it and swim in the surrounding pool. There is also a habit of putting a graduation hat to the statue every year 30th of April at 6pm which marks the start of the May Day celebration. You can expect to see many people gathering around the statue at that time. There are some concerns that the old and hollow statue might not sustain the loads caused by the people celebrating and climbing on it so the city authorities have been trying to preserve the statue during past years. #createwithtrip #culturewalk #helsinki #finland #statue
