Hakaniemi offers outstanding services ranging from the commercial to the municipal and corner shops to supermarkets. The icing on the cake is, of course, Hakaniemi Market Hall. Cultural interests can be pursued at live-music restaurants, theatres or, say, performances at Theatre Academy Helsinki as well as the Helsinki Festival’s Huvila Festival Tent staging splendid programme by the local bay every summer. The main asset of the district of Hakaniemi is its excellent transport links by metro, buses and tram alike. The university campus at Kruununhaka and the government offices at Merihaka are within walking distance. Walking paths run via e.g. Merihaka to Pohjoisranta, Tervasaari island and all the way to Katajanokka. The running paths around Töölönlahti bay are also close by.
