Vartiokylä
Helsinki Subdivision in Uusimaa, FinlandVartiokylä is a neighbourhood in the East Helsinki area of Helsinki, the capital of Finland.

The working population of Helsinki started building their houses in the area after the completion of Uusi Porvoontie, a road to the downtown, in the 1930s.
