Panorama Tour in the Centre of Helsinki Market Square you can watch here: http://www.virtualhelsinki.net/helsinkipanoraama/eng/kauppatori.html The busy Market Square, with its orange stalls, between the sea and the impressive row of historical buildings is the first view to catch the eye of the visitor arriving by sea. On one side of the bay is the South Harbour, on the other the Katajanokka headland. Facing out to sea are Helsinki City Hall, the Swedish Embassy and the Presidential Palace.

Rising out of the fountain near the Esplanade Park at the western end of the Market is the statue of Havis Amanda, the mermaid symbol of Helsinki.

Food and other wares have been changing hands at the Market Square since the 18th century, which also saw the start of the ever-popular Baltic Herring Market in October.
