Otaniemi, University district in Espoo, Finland
The Otaniemi district extends along the southern shore of Laajalahti bay, containing educational facilities, research centers, and student housing complexes.
The Finnish Government acquired Otaniemi lands in 1949 to establish the Helsinki University of Technology and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
Student traditions shape the district's identity through spring celebrations and May Day festivities that attract participants from across the capital region.
The Aalto University metro station, opened in 2017, connects Otaniemi to Helsinki Central Railway Station with an 11-minute journey time.
The district maintains the lowest median income among Finnish postal codes due to its predominant student population and academic character.
