Kauppakatu in the city center near the Market Square
Kauppakatu (lit. "market street") is a street in the center of Kuopio in North Savonia, Finland. The length of the street is about 1,500 meters. The street starts from Makasiinikatu from Kuopio Harbor and ends at Sairaalakatu. The street runs along the southern edge of Kuopio Market Square. Kauppakatu intersects with 19 streets and has ten traffic light-controlled intersections along it.
After the completion of the underground project, Kauppakatu will become a pedestrian street at the market square, between Vuorikatu and Ajurinkatu.[1][2]
Most of the restaurants in the center of Kuopio are also located along Kauppakatu or in its immediate vicinity.[3]
