Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, and Kauniainen make up the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. The administrative center of Vantaa is located in Tikkurila (or Dickursby in Swedish). Vantaa with its population of 185,429 (as of 2004-12-31) is the fourth biggest city of Finland. The biggest airport in Finland, the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport is located there.

It is a common debate in Finland whether Vantaa has access to the sea or not. I have looked at the maps and have found that the answer is yes. There is a very narrow bay to the east of Helsinki and part of the northern shore of this bay belongs to Vantaa. Vantaa does not have access to the sea anywhere else.
