The cargo harbour for the cargo ship traffic is located in the Haapaniemi district, about two kilometers southwest of the passenger harbour.[3][4]
Kuopio's passenger harbour is the busiest port for passenger traffic in the Vuoksi drainage basin and the Lake Finland.[5] There are many cruise companies and restaurants, and in addition, the harbor has market stalls. The Kuopio Wine Festival [fi] is held at this market square near the harbour.[6] The passenger harbour area is one of the centers of summer tourist activities alongside Kuopio Market Square.[5] The harbour is often filled with walkers admiring Lake Kallavesi, market traders, diners on the terrace and those going on a cruise.
