Sitting on a peninsula jutting out into the Gulf of Finland, Helsinki is Finland’s southern capital and most populous city. Home to over 650,000 Finnish citizens, Helsinki has a rich history and culture dating all the way back to the Stone Ages. In fact, the National Museum in downtown Helsinki documents that expansive history and is only a brief walk from Helsinki Central Station, the terminus for all train lines headed to the capital.

It was chosen as one of the most beautiful rail stations in the world in 2013. Over 200,000 passengers move through it each day. This station is next to the Helsinki Music Center as well as the House of Parliament.

Why travel by train to Helsinki?
Train travel is an excellent way to get to Helsinki from many major European destinations, including St. Petersburg and Moscow. Rail travel can be a warmer option to and from Helsinki in the long winter months when ferry travel can be quite cold and the seas a bit rough. Domestically, most rail lines end in Helsinki, so it’s easy to travel there from all over Finland. Domestic destinations from Helsinki include Turku, Tampere, Vaasa, and Oulu. Of this list, Oulu is the farthest destination but only a mere six hours away by direct train.
