One the most stunning stations in Europe. Opened in 1919 it is very much a building of its era, stylish and spacious with what must be most elegant Burger King in the world inside! The trains displays are clear and the building kept clean in spite of the food outlets!

Now known as the Government Palace, it was designed by the renowned Carl Ludwig Engel as the Senate of what was then the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland. Today it is home to Government Offices. It has a marvellous facade with the yellow and white features looking particularly attractive against the blue sky.
