Toen we naar de zijkant van het Centraal Station van Helsinki wandelden, werd onze aandacht onmiddellijk getrokken naar de speciale kloktoren met zijn groene koepel. Het doet me denken aan de Art-decostijl van de Basiliek van Koekelberg in België. Geheel anders is de hoofdingang van het station waar verscheidene reuzenbeelden lichtbollen vasthouden. Het interieur is wat saai en er zijn heel wat mogelijkheden een snack te eten. De perrons zijn overdekt door een constructie van glas en staal. We hadden honger en besloten iets te eten, de meeneem sushi leek ons wel aantrekkelijk. Het was zo genieten dat we een tweede portie bestelden..

Eliel Saarinen had designed the station and those statues who carries the light balls are designed by Emil Wikström. You can also take a train to Moscow and St.Petersburgh from there.

That sushi looks pretty good for the train station. Love all of the trains in your part of the world. Makes travel so much easier. Very interesting contrasts between the front and back of this station.
ReplyDeleteIt's surprising the places that you find good food! Love that about traveling :-)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would love that sushi take away stop! Those statues holding the lights are wonderful. What amazing photos again, and all the more making me wish I could visit there too!
ReplyDeleteRailway Stations often seem to be a strange mixture of styles in architecture and this one certainly seems to be.
ReplyDeleteindeed its funny that the interior does not fir the exterior design of this amazing building, I have been already there myself-I took once the train from Helsinki to visit my friends who live 5h up north from the capital, was a lovely winter trip:)
ReplyDeleteThe modern snack bar in the old building is a contrast.
ReplyDeletehet zachtgroen van de klokkentoren is wel heel mooi en de sushi's zien er ook lekker uit. Groetjes Dietmut
ReplyDeleteYour sushi looks good. I wonder how it taste from a train station. Also, do you know if the giant statues are holding a ball lamp? Maybe it lights up at night.
