Useful tips
- It makes for a very short transfer if you pair it before or after the Suomenlinna ferry.
- Seating may be limited, so it's best to avoid peak hours.
- Looking at Market Square and the Suomenlinna ferry times together, it seems simpler to use it as a short indoor break before or after the ferry rather than setting aside a long meal.
- If there is a shop you want, don't just look at the market's overall hours; check that shop's days off and closing time separately.
