    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

    Visited the Tampere 1918, Games, Natural history, Ice hockey, Findlayson & fairy tale sections.

    The games museum was hands down my favourite section with it recreations of rooms through the decades, it felt like a Time Machine.

    Tampere 1918 was interesting but I felt I learnt more having attended anothe Medien earlier in my trip with more English signage.

    The peppers ghost display in the Findlayson section was also quite cool

    Super cute and one of a kind. Really reasonable price at €14.50 for an adult. I would say you need no more then 1 hour in the exhibit. There are other attractions at this location also.

    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!!

    We arrived early to visit the amusement park which is the main attraction. The elevator ride was fast and smooth. Enjoyed the great views.

    Lot's of sights to see from the beach. I saw a guy fishing there when walking by. There's also a place to throw away cremation ashes.

    Great exhibition of the various developments in living conditions in the area. The guide was great and it definitely added to the visit.

    One of the best museums in town.

    A must see if you are visiting Tampere. Located near the museum center Vapriikki. There's also a park nearby.

    The building seen from above resembles a big male capercaillie in his pride so the library is known in Finnish as Metso. Architect couple Raili and Reima Pietiläs' design from 1986 has assymetrical lines and unexpected nooks both inside and out. The fame of Metso earned them the priviledge to create in 1993 Mäntyniemi in Helsinki, the formal residence of our president.

    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.

    Tampere Hall is located opposite the main building of the University of Tampere near the railway station. It was completed in 1990. The main auditorium has over 1,700 seats.

    The Tampere Opera and the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra are based there. You can find also the Moomin Museum here.

    There is a new Marriott Hotel connected to the building.

    A must go for all interested in stones and minerals! I enjoyed it greatly. Mineral museum takes only a part of the whole Vapriikki museum. It's not huge, but not super small either. The collection has some really nice specimens. Meteorites, fossils, huge fossilized tree trunks, huge amethyst geodes and much more. Many specimens are from Finland.

    There is lots to see and it's very intuitively designed as you first walk in. Very easy to see everything systematically. I would recommend going right when they open, as i hear it get crowded since its a free museum. We were there immediately when they opened and in the first hour there were already kids and people more than one would hope. This is also a very popular spot for families with children so if you want to avoid crowds of kids, try to go early.

    Great former redbrick factories border the mainly restrained rapids connecting the two lakes surrounding Tampere. The bridge is the central part of the main street Hämeenkatu leading from the railway station to Pyynikki. This summer it is also a big construction site as the new tramline is still under way.
