Pyynikki Park and Observation Tower, Tampere

Great views of lakes around Tampere. Especially the cafeteria in the tower serving sweet balls that are super yummy. Even gluten-free options available.

We absolutely loved this place. Pretty relaxing cozy place to visit. Especially don't forget to have the Cinnamon Doughnuts. They are absolutely fantastic. And the pathway that leads up to this place is pretty amazing!

The highest open spot you can get to in Tampere (unless you're crazy and climb one of those radio towers), which I suppose makes this tower a worthwhile visit. It should be said that this place is not for group photos. There's a massive block of concrete sitting in the middle of the uppermost level, so two people can barely fit to move around the corners at the same time. So any hopes of having a picture taken of you posing in front of a massive city skyline should be dropped. You can take a selfie, however. Or just plain photos of the city with no foreground objects.

A place located on very beautiful area. From the tower one can see the city very well.

Great Munkkis and amazing view! Didn't like the queue for the bathroom but it's alright 😅
