    Great donuts, acceptable coffee & an excellent view. Can get very crowded in the small cafe but going on a rainy day we mandated to avoid the crush

    An authentic and beautiful experience with locals. You can even walk there from the centre or take the bus. 2 saunas, plus the dip in the icy lake. Amazing!!

    Had a wonderful lunch at Viikinsaari. Amazing service and wonderful dishes from local providers. It is very easy to get to the island from Laukontori Port on Silver Line vessels. Best of the trip is to reserve enough time to enjoy a lunch or dinner on the island. Truly value for money.

    This park is located next to the Tampere Hall, five minutes walk from the railway station.

    In the middle of the park is a big pond with a fountain. You can find ducks swimming here.

    There are also many other species of birds living in the cages by the pond.

    High up on the hill by the Milavida mansion is a statue of a woman holding two children in despair. It commemorates the 1929 tragedy of Kuru, a ship full of passengers sunken in the high waves of Näsi lake with 138 lives lost. From below by the shore you can hear the music and laughter of people at the Särkänniemi amusement park.

    My favourite Lake for canoeing, swimming, diving and now Stand Up Paddling. Nice cafeteria run by the lake association and they rent boards cheap only 8€ / hour. I recommend on a beautiful day.

    Midsummer fire. There is a watch tower to see the landscape. An ancient camping place is near, an oven. Smoked fish was from turku. It was good nevertheless.

    I was there many times already and love the place. Staff is nice and speak also various languages. They have different events every few month. All very friendly people. I would say best age for kids there is 0-6 years.

    Leo's Leikkimaa in Lielahti is a brand new indoor playground. It's huge, probably three times the size of HopLop in Onkiniemi. As in HopLop adults and babies under 12 mo are free. However there were not that much activities for babies. For older kids - yes.

    A pretty park near Finlayson area and the main market street. Not too far away from the train station.

    Pispalan harju ridge is a very interesting area with old wooden houses and Pyykkimettän puisto (Pyykkimettä Park) is the central point of it. Some people call it Pyynikkimettän puisto (Pyynikkimettä Park) but I think that Pyykkimettän puisto (Pyykkimettä Park) is the official name. It is because pyykki means laundry and earlier the laundry of the residents was washed and dried in the park.

    The main street is named Pispalanharju but remember to walk other streets, too. So you find a nice cafeteria (address Pipapankatu 30) and an interesting pub-restaurant (address Pispalan valtatie 23). There are nice stairs between small streets. We walked as far as the historical Pispalan Uittotunneli tunnel and Uittotunnelin Kahvila lakeside cafeteria (read separate Tripadvisor reviews).

    In the park you find a playground, an excellent lookout point and nice sitting places. This is one of the best selfie places and perhaps the most Instagrammable place in Tampere.

    Pyynikin uimaranta (Pyynikki Public Beach) is a nice sandy swimming beach within walking distance from the city center. This is a nice place for swimming, sunbathing, playing beach volleyball and SUP surfing.

    There is a sandy beach there but there are beautiful rocks and cliffs, too. Actually these cliffs named Jalkasaari Lookout Point are a very nice excursion destination even if you are not going to swim.

    The summer cafeteria of Pyynikki Public Beach has a beautiful location but unfortunately service was very slow.

    Pyynikki Public Beach is a nice place for the whole family. This time weather was warm but very cloudy. We have to come back here later.
