The main train station of Helsinki, the architecture of the station looks majestic from the outside. We took the Santa Claus Express from this station, and the information boards are informative. There are many shops around and below this station, and it connects to the metro, tram and buses. The trains connecting Helsinki and the Vantaa International Airport arrives and departs from here too, beside the InterCity tracks. The I and P trains depart regularly to and fro, and takes at most 30 to 40 minutes to the airport. Our only complaint is that there are limited public seating available at the platforms, and you'll need to pay to sit at any of the restaurants facing the tracks. There are also people smoking on the platforms sometimes, which affects the waiting experience.

This place is a fantastic train station! Helsingin päärautatieasema is the central train station in Helsinki which has service to the many cities ️ of Finland (Tampere, and more). This is also were you can catch the Santa Express Night Train to Rovaniemi to visit the Santa Christmas Village! The station is super close to the mall and is accessible by tram too (line 2). It also has lots of food options, coffee shops ☕, and a restaurant! I wish I came here earlier!

Inside this iconic Central Railway Station, one could get a train to the airport. This was thus the junction between the airport and city centre. There were a lot of convenience stores inside railway station. For instance, the R-kioski and Burger King. In particular the Burger King was well decorated in a classical way and didn’t seem like a fast food store that you encountered in other big cities around the world. The gigantic humanoid statues, each of which held a ball between their hands, were unforgettable.

Disgusting place. Very untidy. Drunk and dirty homeless people sleeping everywhere on benches, seats and floor. This place literally smells like rubbish bin. It’s very uncomfortable to spend here more than 1 minute… Paid toilet is dirty too, no free toilet available ofc. No comfortable waiting area here as well. What is Finland turning into? It’s really scary Police and government must clean this place up or to be fired.

Monipuolinen valikoima erilaisia kahviloita ja ravintoloita. Lisäksi R-kioski, apteekki, upea ainutlaatuinen hotelli Scandic Grand Central Helsinki, matkatavarasäilytystilat, wc-tilat kellaritasossa, kukkakauppa, valuutanvaihtopiste, Helsingin seudun liikenteen palvelupiste, VR:n palvelupiste, rahannostoautomaatit ja paljon muuta.

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).

Fantastic architecture and history. But, no free public toilet and very few seats for people waiting for thier train to arrive. The conversion of the Burger King is extremely unsympathetic to the original designs. The support from HSL staff is outstanding. They are wonderfully helpful!

Liikkuminen asemalla ja ympäristössä myös luikuntarajoitteiselle entistä sujuvampaa. Kaisaniemen tunnelin kätevyys myös ihastutti, ei ole pakko kävellä ihmishulinassa keskustan halki, vaan radanvartta pääsee suoraa laiturilta Tokoin rantaan.

Very big train station with lots of entrances. There's also at least twenty platforms, so be aware of which one you are going to. The architecture is also nice.

Beautiful train station. Very grand. The main entrance is stunning. Outstanding architecture and worth some photos.
