The big, bustling train station is right in the middle of the city of Helsinki. The transportation options here remind me of all the things we aren't doing in the U.S. to conserve energy.
The historic station building has lots of interesting architectural details. This is the west side entrance.
Six sets of covered tracks are all on the main level, making it easier for people dragging heavy luggage. 
The interior of the station has several huge, elegant windows, and beautiful architectural details.
The city's one subway line has a stop inside the train station. On the lower level here, the city transportation office sells passes for unlimited travel on the subway, busses, and trams. The clerks speak English and they take credit cards. How easy can it get!
Here's the front entrance to the train station. Several tram lines run by in front. Busses stop at the side of the building. You see a lot of Volvos here, no doubt having something to do with Finland's neighbor. NOTE: Click on any image in this blog to see it full-size.
