Tallinnanaukio

The Finnish name of the square refers to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, while the Swedish name refers to Reval (Rääveli in Finnish), an older name previously used from Tallinn.

[2] Stoa [fi], the East Helsinki Cultural Center,[3] and the Itäkeskus bus station are also close to the square.

[5] In addition, Tallinnanaukio has several restaurants and bars, and a market square in summer.

[6] In mid-July 2010, the Helsinki Police gave the guards of the shopping center permission to remove drunk, substance abuse and other disturbing behavior from Tallinnanaukio.

The reasons for this are the large number of people passing through Tallinnanaukio and the position of the Itäkeskus metro station as an important public transport hub.
