Keskuskatu, then Hakasalmenkatu, in the 1900s. To the right is the Skoha house, later dismantled to make room for the shopping centre, City-Center.

Keskuskatu, literally "Central Street" (Finland Swedish: Centralgatan), is a two block-long pedestrian street in the centrally-located Kluuvi neighborhood of Helsinki, Finland. Along the street are located (from south to north): the Stockmann department store, the Rautatalo building, Domus Litonii, the World Trade Center and the Citycenter Mall, nicknamed "Makkaratalo" (lit. "sausage house"). Keskuskatu begins at Pohjoisesplanadi, across from the Swedish Theatre, and ends when it meets Kaivokatu, across from Helsinki Central Station.[1] It is intersected just south of its midpoint by Aleksanterinkatu.
