Lauttasaari

Lauttasaari (Drumsö in Swedish) is an island and neighbourhood of Western Helsinki (Helsingfors in Swedish), about 5 kilometres west of the city centre.

With a population of 20,000 as of January 2010, Lauttasaari is primarily a residential area but also contains services, including several marinas and canoe clubs. Although close to the city centre, Lauttasaari is noted for its preserved forest areas and rocky outcrops.

The highway Länsiväylä (Västerleden in Swedish, literally Western Route) linking central Helsinki with Espoo, passes through Lauttasaari.

The name Lauttasaari literally means "ferry island" although the island is now connected to Helsinki and Espoo by bridges and causeways.
