Introducing Espoo
Espoo (Swedish: Esbo) is an independent municipality just west of Helsinki and while it officially ranks as the second-largest city in Finland, it is in reality a part of greater Helsinki, where much of its population works. It's a peaceful place with lots of water and green space and is very large and spread-out, with three centres and many suburbs, including Westend, with its exclusive waterside mansions. Espoo is one of the fastest-growing parts of Finland and has important technology industries of its own.
