Finland's third largest city, Tampere boasts an array of cultural offerings and a lively music scene.

Venture out of the city with trips to Helsinki (Unexpected Visitor Sculpture (Odottamaton Vieras), Kamppi Chapel of Silence, &more). And it doesn't end there: relax and rejuvenate at some of the best spas, stroll through Riihiniemen Uimaranta, examine the collection at Vapriikin Museokeskus, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Tampereen Tuomiokirkko.

To find where to stay, maps, reviews, and tourist information, go to the Tampere holiday site.

Helsinki to Tampere is an approximately 2-hour car ride. You can also take a train; or take a bus. In October, plan for daily highs up to 8°C, and evening lows to 0°C. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 17th (Sat) so you can go by car back home.
