Espoo is a bilingual city, only 83.6% of the population speaks Finnish as their native tongue. 8.3% speaks Swedish and 8% has a first language other than Finnish or Swedish.

The city’s name might be derived from the Swedish name for the River Espoo (Espå or Espåå). The banks of the River Espoo were flanked with aspens in the Middle Ages (the old Swedish „äspe” means aspen, while the „å” stands for „river”). So the city’s name means „a river lined with aspens”. The name Espoo was first mentioned in 1431.

Espoo is famous for its Museum of Modern Art (EMMA), the Museum of Horology and a Toy Museum. The Espoo Cultural Centre is located in Tapiola.
