All you need to know about Central Railway Station of Helsinki (Finland): Helsingin Päärautatieasema
This video is about the Helsinki Central railway station (Finnish: Helsingin päärautatieasema, Swedish: Helsingfors central-station) is a widely recognized landmark in Kluuvi, part of central Helsinki, Finland, and the focal point of public transport in the Greater Helsinki area. The station is used by approximately 200,000 passengers per day, making it Finland's most-visited building. It serves as the terminus for all trains in the local commuter rail network, as well as for a large proportion of long-distance trains in Finland. The station also hosts the Rautatientori metro station, which is the busiest station of the Helsinki Metro.
The station building was designed by Eliel Saarinen and inaugurated in 1919. It was chosen as one of the world's most beautiful railway stations by BBC in 2013.
The station is mostly clad in Finnish granite, and its distinguishing features are its clock tower and the two pairs of statues holding the spherical lamps, lit at night-time, on either side of the main entrance. Animated characters based on the statues have recently been featured in some major advertising campaigns by Finland's government-owned railway operator VR, to the extent of releasing rap singles allegedly sung by Kivimiehet (The stone men).
There are 19 platforms at the station. Platforms 1–3 are on the east side and serve local trains on the Tikkurila route, their tracks stop short of the main station roof. Platforms 4–11 in the center of the station are the main platforms for longer-distance trains which stretch down to terminate in front of the main station building. Platforms 5–10 serve trains running via Tikkurila to Tampere, St Petersburg and other points north and east, while platforms 11–12 serve express trains via the Espoo line to Turku. Platforms 12–19 are on the west side and serve local trains on the Espoo and Kehärata routes, again their tracks stop short of the main station roof. The tracks funnel into separate express and local tracks for both the Espoo and the Tikkurila routes with the express tracks in the middle and the local tracks on the outside, aligning with their respective platforms. This gives eight principal tracks but there is an additional ninth express track for the Tikkurila route out through the Pasila station, the first stop out, about five minutes or 3 km north of the central railway station. All trains stop at Pasila.
The central railway station serves as a central hub for Finnish transport. There are many platforms for local buses on both the west and the east sides of the main station building. The Helsinki Metro Rautatientori station is located under the main station building, linked through the Asematunneli pedestrian underpass and underground shopping center complex, which has entrances in the main hall of the station and at various points in the surrounding streets. The majority of Helsinki's tram routes pass in front of or to the west of the station. The Helsinki central bus station is located at Kamppi Center, about 400 m, or one metro stop, to the west of the railway station.
Although the Helsinki-Vantaa airport is reachable from the station by the P and I local trains, there are also regular bus connections between the station and the airport: two municipal buses (415 and 615 services 24/7) operated by HSL, and a private express bus operated by Finnair, where HSL tickets are not accepted.
The main maintenance area for the Finnish Railways is located in the fork between the Espoo and the Tikkurila lines, just north of the Pasila station. The loading point for cars onto car-carrying trains has been moved from the central railway station to the Pasila station. The old steam locomotive roundhouse facility still stands just to the south of Pasila station and is used for various functions.

Helsinki Central Railway Station to Helsinki Cathedral / Christmas Market Walkthrough
After I visited the new central library Oodi, I decided to take a walk from Central Railway Station (Helsingin Päärautatienasema / Rautatientori) to Helsinki Cathedral (Helsingin Tuomiokirkko). My friends and I often call the cathedral the white church :D. The route passes through Aleksanterinkatu. It is like the central walk street during big events.
