So what makes Tampere so special? Sun-bathed lakes and lush ridges, local baker’s butter-eyed buns, European experiences and our own special stuff . Morning coffee at Laukontori Market Square with wind in your hair. Fresh urban nature that caresses you. Fail-safe classics and unique destinations the way we like them. Exciting events one after another. Tampere is at its best both animated and peaceful. Tampere is welcoming like a small village with a cosmo-politan atmosphere. There’s nothing not to love about Tampere. And yes, Keskustori Central Square is probably the best spot in Finland for watching people and the world go by.
And then there’s the whole Tampere Region too. Filled with great, well-tried destinations and experiences – and just as surely something completely different, often small and intimate. You’ll find many gems and places worth a visit in this short travel guide and many more by keeping your eyes open and asking the locals. And pop into Tourist Information at Tampere railway station if you come across it. There’s plenty of information and insight to adapt everything to suit your trip and desires.
Your stories and subplots are created on the spot from moments and moods that often quite unexpectedly crown the whole trip. You’ll see.
