Helsinki Railway Square

Helsinki Railway Square extends across a wide area flanked by the National Theatre, Ateneum Art Museum, and the Central Railway Station clock tower.

The square gained prominence after the completion of Helsinki Central Railway Station in 1919, designed by architect Eliel Saarinen with its granite facade.

Stone statues created by Emil Wikström stand at the station entrance, representing the connection between classical architecture and Finnish identity.

Multiple transportation options converge at the square, including local buses, trams, metro stations, and national railway services connecting different parts of Finland.

During winter months, the square transforms into an outdoor ice skating rink, while summer features the Spårakoff pub tram departing hourly.
