Hansakortteli (Finnish: Hansakortteli, Swedish: Hansakvarteret) is a shopping centre in the city centre of Turku, in Finland.[1] It is located in the city's VII District, next to the main Market Square. The shopping centre hosts a total of 140 businesses, including cafés and restaurants.[1] Åbo Svenska Teater, the oldest professional theater in Finland is also located in Hansakortteli. The Turku branch of the Stockmann department store is also located in Hansakortteli.

The annual sales of Hansa in 2023 totalled over 229,6 million euros.[2] The number of visitors in 2023 was 10,5 million.[2]
