The Finlayson area is located by the Tammerkoski rapids. It was founded in 1820 by James Finlayson from Scotland. He noticed the energy potential of free rapids.
The Finlayson textile manufacturing ended in Tampere at the beginning of the 1990s. The old factory buildings are left. Today there are museums, offices, bars, restaurants, a movie theater, and a shopping center.
This summer, you can find Finland’s first rooftop walk on the roofs of these historic buildings. There is also a rooftop cafe.

This area is nice for an after dinner stroll. Nice asphalt painting and song quotations. Still very quiet due to Corona, and some restaurants closed.

The massive former cotton factory complex had little visible life on a Friday in July. All I could see were business offices, no terraces or other activities were in the open. I visited the free Finnish Labour Museum, looked at the Finlayson Palace terrace for a lunch possibility and continued over the bridge to Tampella.

The Finlayson Area is a fantastic area close to water.
It was build by a Scottsman as a Cotton Mill and to day this big area is full off different life, Museums, dining place, theater, shops and offices and lots of things to do.
Go there and see the history of Tampere.

The industrial buildings themselves are interesting and well-maintained, however, there was really not much to see there even on Friday evening. Some restaurants or shops etc. but enough just for a short walk. For a really short and fast walk actually as there were several strange gothic people and boy gangs here and there, some of them seemed druggers or a bit agressive, I was happy that I was not walking there only by myself.

All over Finland they have utilized Finlayson's old factory buildings, turning them into small shops, restaurants, and areas that are very welcoming to live near. This one is particularly nice with the revitalization of the area between the two lakes that the factory used for hydro power. And the old Manor house is now a fine dining restaurant.

Like many cities Tampere has been able to maintain this large industrial edifice and give it a new life with shops, cafes and galleries. It works quite well and seems to be popular with the residents. I was there on a Friday and it was busy.
