Asematunneli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asematunneli (Swedish: Stationstunneln) is an underground shopping center connecting the Helsinki Central railway station and City-Center in downtown Helsinki, Finland. The area also has a ticket sales area for the Rautatientori metro station and connections to the nearby Forum shopping mall and Stockmann and Sokos department stores. Kamppi Center and the bottom floor of Sähkötalo across Fredrikinkatu can also be accessed via underground tunnels by going through the Forum shopping mall first.

Asematunneli was built by digging up Kaivokatu and pouring concrete canopies for the tunnels in 1966–1967.
