Jäätelöratikka is a charming little ice cream tram right in the centre of Turku, at the Market Square, impossible to miss! But it’s not your typical ice cream shop. This historic tram, Finland’s first electric tram, once ran the city streets before being converted into Turku’s sweetest stop. Since 1994, it’s been serving legendary ice cream and has become a local landmark.

The vibe is relaxed and friendly, perfect for families, friends, or anyone looking for a sweet pause while exploring the city. The smell of fresh waffle cones and the colors of all the flavors make it feel instantly festive. Even if you don’t grab ice cream, it’s a fun photo spot and a quirky piece of Turku history.

WHEN TO GO: The tram is in the Market Square from early spring until late autumn, it’s closed in winter.

LOCAL TIP: Try going earlier in the day or on weekdays if you want to avoid queues, especially during sunny summer afternoons.
