Pyynikki Park and Observation Tower, Tampere

Admire nature, striking views, and a tasty treat in the famous cafe at Pyynikki Park and Observation Tower.

The first tower was built in this spot in 1868; the current structure was completed in 1929, after destruction from the civil war. Climb to the top of the tower for scenic panoramas, and be sure to visit its cafe, beloved by locals and visitors for its doughnuts, which have been made using the same recipe since the early 20th century.
