Vuosaari

Vuosaari spans 15.38 square kilometers along the coast, making it the largest district of Helsinki with natural forests, beaches, and residential areas.

The area transformed from an island in the 16th century to a peninsula, later developing from agricultural lands to residential zones during Swedish colonization.

The Vuotalo cultural center provides performance spaces, art exhibitions, and community gatherings for the 38,961 residents of this maritime neighborhood.

Two metro stations, Rastila and Vuosaari, connect the district to central Helsinki, while the Vuosaari Harbor handles cargo and passenger maritime operations.

The Kallahdenniemi peninsula features protected sandy beaches and pine forests as part of the European Union Natura 2000 conservation network.
