Helsinki Metro Route Map
Introduction to the Helsinki Metro
The Helsinki Metro is the rapid transit system serving Helsinki, the capital of Finland. It consists of two operational lines (M1 and M2) that share a common route in the central part of the city. The system began operation in 1982, making it the northernmost metro system in the world. As of 2023, the operational network spans approximately 35 kilometers with 25 stations and serves about 400,000 passengers daily.
