Lauttasaari — Local services in Helsinki sub-region

Fishing spot at bridge every May to June.

Lauttasaari is an island in Helsinki, Finland, about 3 kilometres west of the city centre. Together with some surrounding unpopulated small islands, Lauttasaari is also a district of Helsinki. With 23,226 residents as of 2017, the island is Finland's second largest by population, after Fasta Åland. Wikipedia. Lauttasaari is primarily a residential area but also contains services, including several marinas and canoe clubs. Although close to the city centre, Lauttasaari has not been entirely built up. Notably, almost the entire shoreline remains in public use, with footpaths, beaches, playgrounds, patches of forest, and rocky outcrops.

The name Lauttasaari literally means "ferry island", although nowadays, the island is connected to the rest of Helsinki and to the city of Espoo by bridges, causeways, and the Helsinki metro, which has two stations in the district. The island has two postal codes: 00200 and 00210. The Helsinki metro has two stations in the district, the Lauttasaari and the Koivusaari stations. The Lauttasaari metro station is served by two entrances: one in the Lauttis shopping centre, and one on Gyldenintie.

Bus Edit All the internal bus routes — 20, 21, and 21B — connect with at least one of the metro stations, and the routes 20 and 21 continue to the city centre. The bus routes 115A and 555 start at the centre of the island. Route 115A runs via Tapiola to Mankkaa in Espoo, and route 555 runs via Espoo to Martinlaakso in the city of Vantaa. Lauttasaari is also served by night bus routes 20N and 112N from the city centre.

Car Edit The Länsiväylä (also the National road 51) motorway that links central Helsinki with Espoo passes through Lauttasaari, and has two interchanges on the island. Espoo's side starts in the Westend district. Going towards the city center of Helsinki, the Länsiväylä will run along the Lauttasaari Bridge, which was built in late December 1969.[2] The bridge is 317 metres long and 23.5 metres wide, made of reinforced concrete, and its span is 56.6 metres.[3].

Nice area of Helsinki where to walk along the seaside or have a drink next to a Marina during summer time. Lot of people are jogging next to modern villas or walking their dogs, this next to the sea creates a nice atmosphere. Pay attention to storms...
