    what a great view! there's also a lovely cafe on top, and you can go even further up and to walk and look around on the roof. the restaurant was being renovated when I was there, so I can't say anything about that.
  • By Ville Salminen
    Very nice view over Kuopio and surrounding areas. Tower and restaurant/cafe were under construction on July 2019, so you couldn't buy any refresments, but the sight terrace on the top was in use. You can choose elevator or stairs, but choose the stairs only If you are in good shape.
