    Helsinki is a wonderful station. The trains in Finland were good, and the people were friendly and helpful. After Finland I took the overnight ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm. That's also a wonderful adventure you should put on your list if you haven't already done it.
    What do I want for Christmas? Mesimarija -- a Finnish liqueur made from Arctic Red Berries.

      as a finn i find it fastcinating to read repeadetely "people were friendly" .... damn guys, where do you come from. What did you expect people to be like :)
      Why wouldnt they be friendly? The day is much nicer for all parties involved if we deal with each other in a friendly manner.

      OK, let me clarify:
      In answer to your question, I'm from Japan as my UA-cam name states. I visited several countries on the trip that took me to Finland. As you suggest, there are friendly people everywhere. For me, the difference in Finland is a lack of overtly insulting and condescending attitude towards visitors that can be found in some other places. Of course there is only one New York, and try as one might one may be hard pressed to find Hell in Helsinki, but the world is generally not an either-or place, but a spectrum. In my opinion, Helsinki was near the good end of the spectrum. That was not necessarily true of all of Finland. Tampere was somewhat less visitor-friendly than Helsinki. And of course, if we compare almost anywhere to Japan, noplace really compares.

      So Finland is really a century ahead of Sweden in the rail hospitality industry. The quality of the train car interior, dining car, food selection, normal prices. Swedes are offering accommodation like a Russian train in 1980, container food and jacked up prices with full abuse of the captive audience situation.
      To the surprised Finn, people are probably mostly comparing to Swedes and their train cars. It's hard for you to comprehend from where you stand but they are frigid, frigid, frigid - in all aspects and on all levels. Yanta Law rules on the other side - for real 😃😃😃

    We did this trip (by air) in August 1998 to see the Big Guy! It was an amazing time as we were there when it wasn't busy and spent almost a half hour speaking with Santa. Saw Santa this summer in North Pole, AK. I think he had gotten up on the wrong side of Mrs Claus that day! Nowhere near as magical.

    Took this train from Helsinki to Rovaniemi last January. Took the earlier train however, so I did not see much since it was dark the entire way. Had the sleeper room and slept well. Arrived in Rovaniemi about 8 AM and had a buffet breakfast at the restaurant at the station. Spent a few hours here then backtracked to Oulu where I was staying. The fare was about 160 Euros, mush less than Amtrak. WiFi was good, able to stream UA-cam videos. Cant wait to next January when I can do it again!!

    It is amazing how far behind the USA is on passenger rail service. I remember when they were tearing out the Denver and Rio Grande tracks in Colorado and the ties were 1cent apiece and you had to haul them away. Then, they were sold at the "garden centers" for $4 to $6 apiece. Those tracks in Colorado would have been some beautiful scenic rides, today. Someday, we'll be forced to ride electric train here in the USA, too. Was there a St. Nicholas there, too?

Keep doing what you do, even if they claim that Santa Claus lives in Finland.

    Greetings from Finland. It was nice to see you enjoying a trip through our country. I also have enjoyed many trips to Laplan via train and flight.
