The Pullman bar, Helsinki station

The Pullman bar, Helsinki station

A favourite hangout for me as it once was for Bertolt Brecht, who not only hung out there but used it as a setting for a story.

The art nouveau interior is charming and the big leather armchairs are inviting. I particularly like the windows, which face Station Square on one side and on the other look down onto the scurrying crowds of commuters inside the station.

Never seen it so quiet. A nice opportunity to admire Eliel Saarinen's handiwork.
