Tampere Travel Guide

 15 Reviews  This place is right beside the TV Tower. The setting is cool, with an assortment of rides beside Lake Näsijärvi. You can get great views over the lake & the cityscape from the high rides, like the rollercoaster. Once you're done, head for a slap-up meal at the top floor restaurant of the TV... 

 9 Reviews  Some say that this is Tampere’s most popular attraction. Indeed, Moominvally has attracted a wide range of visitors from families with kids, to Asian girls who come because of Moomin’s cutenes and of course many grown-ups who just want to go through a memory of childhood. Even if you are not... 

 12 Reviews  You must see the tower when in Tamprere. So, take a trip to tower and you understand where Tampere is located and why we Finns love our lakes. I love lake Näsijärvi (someone loves lake Pyhäjärvi too, but I don't know any). There are tree lights on the top of the tower, those are weather signs: 3... 

 10 Reviews  This museum has mixed reviews and I really can understand why. The collection of the museum mostly consists mainly of publications by Lenin made during his time in Finland. As these are in Finnish or Russian, it is difficult to judge their value. Photographs are used to highlight Lenin’s time in... 

 6 Reviews  Pispala is a special district of Tampere. It has an undeniable charm, with its colourful wooden cottages built by late 19th-century workers and narrow lanes. The cottages, now worth a small fortune, have been protected to ensure their preservation. I feel they are best visited on foot; otherwise,... 

 12 Reviews  Tampere Cathedral, one of the city's best-known sites, aroused vehement debates when it was built at the beginning of the twentieth century. The daring paintings by famous Finnish artist Hugo Simberg (See my travelogue), inside the church, caused controversy with visions of snakes, naked boys and... 

 6 Reviews  This place is probably considered as Tampere’s main museum, even if the Lenin Museum and the Moomin Valley are better known. Vapriikki is located on the former ground of the Tampella factory, once one of the most imprtant Finnish companies. It is now an exhibition building with many permanent and... 

 7 Reviews  Whether you like dark or pale lager, stout or wheat beer, all these tasty beers, and many more, can be enjoyed in the historic surroundings of the Plevna Brewery Pub & Restaurant. Plevna was established in 1994, in the old Finlayson cotton mills, and it is the only genuine brewery pub in Tampere,... 

 7 Reviews  This is one of the best pubs in town. Very unique decoration, the owners went to Ireland to get the idea and created very nice pub with relax atmosphere. The only bad thing here that there are TV’s everywhere to follow football, sports etc. 

 5 Reviews  Tampere's local buses are clean and, although more expensive than in many other cities around the world, dirt cheap compared to taxis or rental cars. If you're planning to see some of the city by bus or sleep outside the town centre, a tourist card is probably the best ticket choice for you. Such a... 

 7 Reviews  These are lttle different lingerie than most of other,and sold only at their own shops.You might say they are little more luxorius. Happy fot tourists,I noticed that pages are in English.That might upset some older Finnish women,but I think most understand English very well here. It´s little hard to... 

 7 Reviews  Aleksanteri Church is situated near the Stockmann department store. It's called the New Church because it was originally built to replace the Old Church which was the most important place of worship in Tampere. The building is Neo-Gothic and the name comes from Tsar Alexander II. The church has gone...
