Helsinki Central Station is a widely recognised landmark in central Helsinki, Finland, and the focal point of public transport in the Greater Helsinki area. It serves as the point of origin for all trains in the local VR commuter rail network, as well as for a large proportion of long-distance trains in Finland. The station also hosts the Rautatientori metro station, which is the busiest station of the Helsinki Metro.
The station is mostly clad in Finnish granite, and its distinguishing features are its clock tower and the two pairs of statues holding the spherical lamps, lit at night-time, on either side of the main entrance. Animated characters based on the statues have recently been featured in some major advertising campaigns by Finland’s government-owned railway operator VR, to the extent of releasing rap singles allegedly sung by Kivimiehet (“The stone men”).
The station is used by approximately 200,000 passengers per day, making it Finland’s most-visited building.
Messukeskus Helsinki and nearby hotels can easily be reached by public transport in 5 minutes.

You’ll find excellent, cheap hotels and hostels around the central railway station, and lots of restaurants. If you’re an adventurous diner, you may wish to sample some reindeer. This meat is particularly high in protein, and features in multiple dishes.
Zetor, a well-known restaurant, located centrally, serves a wide range of eats, including Reindeer, amidst a laid back, quirky, country styled backdrop.
The Rock Church is, as it sounds, a church built out of an ancient rock. Located on the peninsula, the Rock Church has excellent acoustics, making it the perfect venue for local concerts.
The Etelainan Suurpiiri is a good place to visit, if you have an interest in museums, food and design, and the Seurasaari Open Air Museum is another must do.
