Kulosaari, Residential island district in Helsinki, Finland

Kulosaari spans across an island connected to Helsinki by bridges, featuring a mix of modern buildings and traditional Finnish architecture along the waterfront.

The area transformed from an independent municipality to become part of Helsinki in 1946, following its early development as a villa district in 1907.

The neighborhood maintains both Finnish and Swedish-speaking schools, reflecting the bilingual heritage of the metropolitan Helsinki region.

The Helsinki Metro station and multiple bus lines connect Kulosaari to the city center, with the journey taking approximately 10 minutes by public transport.

The Itäväylä highway divides the island into two sections, while a bridge links it to Mustikkamaa island, a recreational area for outdoor activities.
