Senate Square Helsinki has a huge market. Lots of diverse foods and non food items to buy.
Out of all the food we had the huge pretzels were the best, so much variety, I had a poppy seed one, if I hadn't eaten before I would have bought another one 😋😋😋😋
The Hop on Hop off bus stops there and the tram runs right next to it as well.
Well worth a look.

It's basically the main square in Helsinki, located next to the most photographed place, the cathedral. Trams stop here. Located near water. A must see.
The Cathedral and Senaatintori (Senate Square) in Helsinki are an absolute must see landmark. We've been living in Helsinki but each time I am back to this beautiful city I like to visit these iconic sites. Great location and historical significance and beauty of this place is remarkable.
The Helsinki Cathedral, also known as Tuomiokirkko, stands tall and majestic at the top of a grand staircase, making for a striking visual from afar. As you approache the Cathedral you can see details of its neoclassical design and bright white facade. Exquisite sculptures and columns exude an aura of elegance and timelessness. Inside the Cathedral the vast, vaulted ceilings adorned with intricate paintings, magnificent altar and a serene atmosphere creates a perfect setting for reflection and contemplation. Whether you're religious or not, the Cathedral's sense of history and reverence leaves a profound impact on visitors. Next to the cathedral is the oldest Russian Orthodox church in Helsinki.
Adjacent to the Cathedral, the Senate Square, or Senaatintori, offers open space surrounded by 19th century buildings. The architecture is dominated by the Government Palace, the University of Helsinki's main building, and the National Library of Finland. All buildings were built mostly during the Russian Empire. The city also called second st. Petersbourg. The symmetrical layout and the blend of neoclassical and romantic styles give the square an air of grandiosity and harmony. Climb up the stairs to the Cathedral for great photos. The panoramic view of Helsinki from there was simply breathtaking.

The centerpiece of the square is the magnificent Helsinki Cathedral, a stunning white cathedral with its striking green domes that dominate the skyline. The cathedral's intricate facade and elegant staircase make it a captivating sight from every angle, perfect for photo opportunities and capturing the essence of Helsinki.
Sehr schön gelegener Platz direkt am Dom. Ein "Muss" in Helsinki. Entspannte Atmosphäre. Rund um tolle Gebäude. Der Dom selbst ist sehr schlicht gehalten innen drin.
Outsode this very hustoric and picturesque cathedral, we were treated to a fantastic parade from the Finnish Cadet equivalent. Safe to say, the Finnish kids definitely put up a show. Fantastic!
A beautiful square right in the middle of a busy city. Very beautiful square with the oldest building in Helsinki on it. The square is cobbled all around and has great Architectural Buildings around it. The Cathedral is beautiful and not very ornate. A must visit for tourists for sure.
