  • Surely has to be one of the most architecturally impressive train stations from the outside, flanked by two enormous statues holding spheres that are lit at night. I did not however think the train...

  • One month living in Finland, out of the capital, visited this kinda iconic place is exciting. Maybe because of winter, the light makes the surround looks gloomy. However, Helsinki rain station is really big with a lot of facility. But I haven't check the toilet condition. I hope they have a toilet with water jet (bidet).
  • Helsinki Central Station is as super as the other Scandinavian railway. Its building is very attractive and clean as the rest of Finland and Helsinki as well. You have to pay more for the tickets in train but its normal in Finland. :)
