Helsinki Central Railway Station is a widely recognised landmark in central Helsinki and the focal point of public transport in the Greater Helsinki area. 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.
