  • Check the correct bus stop

    Regional buses use station stop E

    Since 1 June 2026 regional buses use Rautatieasema E on Paloheimonkatu instead of the former travel-centre stop. Most long-distance coaches use the Kormuntie interchange, so verify the exact boarding point.

Step into the city

A short pause or a whole day. Choose a visit that fits your journey.

  • A short connection

    30–60 minutes

    Keep the plan close and simple: Railway Park. Leave a clear margin for the platform.

  • A few hours

    One focused city visit

    Choose one main destination, such as Finnish Glass Museum district, and check its opening hours before leaving the station.

  • A full day

    City first · Region second

    Add Riemu and the centre only after confirming the complete outward and return journey.

Places to start with

  • Railway Park

    Beside the station · Buildings from 1857 onward

    The protected Railway Park preserves homes and service buildings made for railway workers. It is an outdoor historic environment; many buildings are private, so follow public paths and current access signs.

    Railway Park history

  • Finnish Glass Museum district

    About 3 km · Bus or planned walk

    The Finnish Glass Museum and Finnish Wildlife Museum share the Tehtaankatu district. It is not a quick station stop: verify museum hours and the current R-traffic journey in both directions.

    Riihimäki museums

  • Riemu and the centre

    City and art museums · Compact centre

    Riemu combines the city and art museums at Temppelikatu. Link it with the central church and market streets for a focused centre visit rather than adding another distant museum district.
