Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

New York has Central Park, but how many cities can boast about having a central forest? One of the Tampere city centre neighborhoods, Pyynikki, is home to a gorgeous pine tree forest on top of a ridge. In the forest there is an illuminated jogging trail that becomes a skiing trail in the winter, and the view from the high cliffs will take your breath away.

Näsinneula is the most iconic symbol of Tampere

When you take the lift up to the top of Näsinneula, you can admire the scenery from the second tallest observation tower in the Nordic countries. Moreover, you can get acquainted with the most iconic symbol of Tampere.

You can see a fantastic panorama of the city centre from the tower’s observation deck or from the rotating Restaurant Näsinneula. In other directions, a breathtaking scenery of ridges and lakes unfolds before you. You can even see sceneries of neighbouring municipalities above the rooftops of Tampere as in clear weather the visibility is 20 kilometres in every direction.

Finlayson Area is located in the centre of Tampere in the beautiful national landscape of the Tammerkoski rapids. Rich in tradition, the area is well-known for the Finlayson cotton factory, which was established in 1820. Colorful history and lively present meet in the Finlayson Area. The unique atmosphere of the old factory makes the area perfect for once-in-a-lifetime experiences: interesting museums and exhibitions, cozy restaurants and cafes, versatile events and other activities can be enjoyed throughout the year. There’s plenty to do for people who enjoy peace and quiet and also for those who enjoy more fast-paced experiences.

The host will tailor the Tampere Tour according to your preferences.
