You continue to the Old Market Hall where you sample Finnish delicatesses and get to browse the finest ingredients available. Here the growing season is short and frost during season rather common. The Finnish forests, however, more than make up for what is lost in terms of agricultural products, in terms of the treasure chest of berries, mushrooms and game it offers.
