Helsinki Central railway station is a widely recognised landmark in central Helsinki, Finland, and the focal point of public transport in the Greater Helsinki area. It serves as the point of origin for all trains in the local VR 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 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”). The station is used by approximately 200,000 passengers per day, making it Finland’s most-visited building. Important tourist attractions and part of yours vacation packages.
