Helsinki Metro
Description:
Metropolitan in Helsinki has one distinctive feature from all other subways in the world - it is the northernmost in the world. In addition, the metro in Helsinki is the only one in Finland.
Its construction began in 1969 and the first train started in 1982.
The metro consists of one line, which is divided into two directions. The total length of the Helsinki metro is 22.1 kilometers. And although this is a fairly small length, the subway perfectly copes with its task - you can cross the entire capital of Finland in just 20 minutes. The Metropolitan has 17 stations, mainly connecting the eastern districts of Helsinki.
It is noteworthy that there are no turnstiles, as well as there is no separate ticket for the metro – in Helsinki there is one ticket for all types of transport.
For tourists, there is a Helsinki Card, it is valid from 24 to 72 hours and guarantees free travel on public transport in the capital.
By the way, some metro stations (Vuosaari, Rautatientori, Kamppi, Itä keskus) have access directly to shopping centers, which is quite convenient.
