Tammelantori Market Place Tampere

All-year outdoor market

Heta from Tampere

""Tammelantori Marketplace" in Tampere is a lively place in summer and quiet and devoted to locals in winter I love Hannah's cafe & Janne's potatoes..."

Just around the corner from the Tampere city centre lies Tammelantori market square. During summer, the place is lively and full of people and local farmers or shop keepers selling products from the fields and forests: e.g. strawberries, carrots and birch whisks used in saunas. There is a flea market where locals sell their old books, vintage clothes and handicrafts and there are kiosks selling fish hamburgers, black sausauges and ice cream. But during winter time, from October to April, the place is quiet and mainly for devoted locals.

There is something that make me go there even when it’s grey and foggy and -2 degrees outside. You can find some ”open all year” cafés to sit down for a while and enjoy a breakfast or a lunch and foodstalls to buy something to take along. And among other things you can buy e.g. potatoes straight from the farmers. The best way to eat the ”new potatoes” during summer is to boil them in hot water with the peels on (after brushing them all clean) and serve them with salted herring and real butter.

I live in the western suburbs now but go to the centre often, and to the south once in a while. I have worked as a psychologist and have a degree in literature as well, but prefer working at home. Before and in between the years in Tampere, I l...
