The Railway Station or the Rautatieasema is an architecturally noteworthy station in Helsinki. The structure was opened in 1862 and has ever since been a very important landmark in the city. It is the center of a very busy railway network and hence a transport hub which is the beating heart of a network.

But the building itself is beautiful. The old timey arches, huge windows and giant skylights and chandeliers make it a real sight to be beheld. There are giant statues at the entrance which are very famous and unique to this structure. The glass ceiling on the terminals is also worth seeing.

Due to its historic and architectural importance, the building is worth a see. Even if you don’t plan to travel by train it will be worth your while to check this station out.
