 | | Helsinki (pronounced with the stress on the first syllable in Finnish — think "Helsin Ki"), or Helsingfors in Swedish, is the capital of Finland. |
 | | The Helsinki Metro line, started in 1982, was the first, and so far the only, metro line in the entire Finland. |
 | | For the first 16 years of its existence, the line was topologically only one straight line, but in 1998 a fork was added at Itäkeskus station, dividing the remainder of the line into two sub-lines with three stations each. |
