AALTO UNIVERSITY METRO STATION
The Aalto University station is located in the centre of Otaniemi – a hub of science and student life. The stations pays tribute to the world-renowned architect Alvar Aalto with its red and brown colours and style.
In Otaniemi, you will encounter the respected science and research community, the world’s hottest Startup Sauna and a bustling student culture. Nature is also close by. The Laajalahti Natural Reserve and Espoo’s Rantaraitti are a short walking distance from the metro station. Otaniemi also allows you to take the metro to sea: there is a scheduled boat route from the shore to Espoo’s wonderful islands for outdoor activities.
