A convenient train station, there is an automatic security camera at the bottom, you can go down by elevator. You can pay for an hour or three days. If you are late, then there is an additional payment and that's it. There is an employee who will help. It is better to buy tickets in the TLF app, they are checked on trains
Finland is a delight , one of the best countries in the world , fantastic management , the station is convenient , in the right place , great staff , great trains!
The station is very beautiful, there are many restaurants, retail outlets, and even in one of the halls you can see the railway in miniature. The only thing that disappointed me was the number of beggars.
A big village, chistinko, few people. Parking is prohibited, but if necessary, it can be for a short time. Toilets are paid, but if you just go, you can do it for free
The Central station is beautiful, but for the second year the flag of a country whose capital Helsinki is not has been hanging on it

A good location, the station itself is a historical building and nothing more. When waiting for a transfer at 2 o'clock, there was nowhere to even sit down. There is no full meal at the station itself, only snacks with all sorts of sandwiches and coffee.
The train station is like a train station.Everything is organized clearly, as it is everywhere in Finland.There is a pub, snack bars, shops.The prices are sky-high (except for Burgers)There is no ATM.Commuter tickets are sold at vending machines.I don't remember Russian, but the English interface is there for sure.The ATM at the post office is two hundred meters and at the Vypiano is one hundred and fifty meters.It's a bit dirty early in the morning and late at night.There are a lot of black Romanians and other "refugees".They look creepy, but harmless.Although you don't need to count crows.Don't forget to keep an eye on your belongings and pockets.And outwardly the station is beautiful.Like a block of granite and two hefty stone men, it's a sight to behold.The Finns won the hockey championship, they put on helmets and hung ribbons- kitos (thanks).With humor, people.
When you get from crowded Moscow to relatively quiet Helsinki, you pay attention that the station has not been seriously rebuilt for a century, a landmark place for several generations of passengers. Everything is available here without queues: currency exchange, meals, souvenirs. It is not noisy, loud announcements do not bother. Maybe because there are few trains leaving and no one is in a hurry. A perfectly acceptable showcase for the country of Suomi.
The station building is very beautiful, easy navigation, tickets can be bought both in vending machines and in the ticket office hall, where an electronic queue is organized, and there is also a waiting room. There is a covered platform at the station, which is convenient, given the unpredictability of the weather. You can have a snack in numerous cafes, there are souvenir and newspaper kiosks. At the R-kiosk, you can buy both one-time transport passes and transport cards for one or more days for all types of transport, as well as tourist Helsinki-cards, which allow you not only to use public transport, but also to visit some museums for free or at a discount. The metro station of the same name is located next to the station.
He is a multiple winner of world competitions for the most organized and comfortable railway station on the planet. It looks like a museum - there is something to see while waiting for the train.
Well, first of all, because this is Helsinki!
Secondly, there is a subway and Wi-Fi nearby, which you can connect to without watching a ton of ads.
Beautiful architecture, especially statues with balls attract attention. I am glad that it is located in the city center, which means that only after getting off the train you can walk along the central streets. In the morning, of course, it was not comfortable because of the dark-skinned environment. But who cares? This is Helsinki!
Beautiful from the outside, if you sit only in cafes, either directly on the floor or in the hall where the ticket offices are located (as such, there is no waiting room, a place to sit would not hurt, in my opinion).
The toilet is paid, there is a board for the arrival and departure of trains with full information, a pharmacy, an exchange office, a flower shop.
You can get a city map at the train station (free of charge).
There is Wi-Fi, but it is very bad, it is better to go online to the shopping center next to it, but I did not try to go to Burger King. Maybe he's better there.
I liked the station itself, I had to buy tickets to the suburbs at R Kiosk, which was not usual for me.
A gloomy, outdated building. Beautiful and comfortable from the inside, boring from the outside. With misfits and drunks at night. It closes for the night.
Nice quiet train station. There is a waiting room and a Burger King. You can buy a city pass. There are shops nearby. In general, everything is for people.
This is the very center of the city. It is open from 5 am, inside there is a fairly large selection of cafes where you can relax and have a snack.
It's always crowded.
It's a beautiful place with polite staff, everyone knows how to communicate in English, so there are no problems with communication, the only minus is Burger King, which occupies an entire wing of the station and looks very bad
Everything is convenient, there is a place to drink coffee in the early morning, have a snack, leave things in the luggage room, study the map, find out information about the city, etc.
There is no waiting room at all, if you find yourself there early in the morning, or stand or sit on the floor.
The number of marginal personalities is off the scale, but I don't argue, maybe I was just so unlucky, drunk Finns, some shit and Gypsies with their own personal charm.
It's dirty, there are homeless people, drunks and gypsies all around. There is no waiting room, the toilet is only for coins, there is no free one, you cannot pay with a card.
Convenient train station, many entrances and exits. Even in the season, there is no feeling of a crowd. It is closed from snow and rain but ventilated. There is no dirt and it is not stuffy.
It's dirty, the local crazies and beggars are annoying. In general, the train station is like a train station. Only there are no frames at the entrance, baggage inspection and other anti-terrorist stuff. Finns, apparently, are not afraid of terror.
