I mean…it’s a station. It’s where we arrived from the airport on a train. But on the inside it’s not especially grand or fancy or even well designed. So yes, from the outside it seems impressive but..... more

Lugage storage options. Station location. Not crowded platforms. Clean. Nice and coay cafes. Not enough space/seats inside to wait for a 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. :)

Like everything in Finland, the rail system does things the Finnish way. Trains work reliably. Everything is clean. It’s kinda expensive. The building is iconic, in a brutalist way.

Lockers are for 4€ and bigger I think for 6€ - coins only! But behind lockers there is a machine for change your bank notes to coins. The main building itself looks amazing.

Well organized place.. there are some tickets machines to buy tickets at the station and even you can easily buy them online. Most of the trains runs on time. Clean ,bit busy environment.
