Pohjoisranta

Pohjoisranta (Swedish: Norra Kajen), meaning "northern shore", is the eastern shore of the district of Kruununhaka in Helsinki, Finland and a street running along it.

Pohjoisranta is surrounded by valuable buildings designed by Onni Tarjanne, Lars Sonck and Theodor Höijer.

Together with Esplanadi and Sörnäisten rantatie it forms a part of the connection from the city centre to the Lahdenväylä and Itäväylä highways, also forming part of the Finnish national road 4 and 7 as well as the E-road E75.

The street also serves as the main connection to the South Harbour and the Olympia Terminal.
