Kerava, Railway municipality in Uusimaa, Finland
Kerava is a municipality in the Uusimaa region south of Helsinki, serving as an important railway hub. The town developed around the station and offers connections in multiple directions.
The area was known as a settlement in the 1400s but accelerated its growth after the railway line between Helsinki and Hämeenlinna was built. This railway connection fundamentally changed the town's development.
The railway shapes how people move through daily life and connect with neighboring towns. The station serves as a natural gathering point where residents and visitors pass through regularly.
The central station is the best starting point for orienting yourself in the municipality. From here, visitors can easily reach other destinations or explore the surrounding area.
The town gained attention in the 1980s for its local garlic-based dishes. This culinary distinction sets it apart from many other Finnish communities.
