Tampere is located between two beautiful lakes named Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi. The water flows from Näsijärvi and runs in rapidsthrough the city, falling a total of 18 meters before it reaches Pyhäjärvi. The factories harnessed the power of the rapids, and this is how the story of this industrial city began. Today, Tampere is the largest inland city in Scandinavia and its population is growing. The top sights and interesting places with their fascinating history will be included in the tour. The beautiful natural scenery around Tampere attracts visitors from all over the world. We visit the Pispala district at the highest point of the Pispalanharju ridge, showing visitors the most beautiful lake view in the city. Pispala is also an architecturally interesting neighbourhood built during a time without a local development plan, resulting in unique building styles and urban solutions, some dating as far back as the late 1800’s.
