Shopping in Helsinki

Helsinki has several shopping centers that appeal to tourists:

• Aleksanterinkatu, Mannerheimintie, Fredrikinkatu, Bulevardi, Pohjoisesplanadi - these are the main major shopping centers of the city: Stockmann department store, Forum and Sokos shopping centers, Aleksi13 and Kämp Galleria department stores Aleksi13 and Kämp Galleria (there is also a small Moomin Shop - all mummy troll fans know about it). Shopping centers in Helsinki are open on weekdays from 9:00 to 21:00, on Saturday - until 18:00.

• Helsinki market on the Trade Square. In summer, most of the market is occupied by "gifts of nature" (strawberries, strawberries, raspberries, mushrooms). In October the herring fair starts, and wool and fur souvenirs can be found here all year round.
• Flea market on the square Hietalahti.

• Helsinki Outlets - Halti (sporting goods), Finnkarelia, Mr.Big, Warehouse and Street & Fashion (men's and women's clothing). Among the out-of-town outlet stores in Vaanta - Stockmann, Ecco, Adidas, Luhta and others - are leading.

Tourist reviews prove that shopping in Helsinki is extremely attractive thanks to the Tax Free system. Thus, tourists who made a shopping tour in the capital of Finland, can return up to 20% of the cost of purchases. To do this, the amount in the receipt must be at least 40 EUR, the product packaging must not have been opened and the purchase must have been officially registered in the store.
