Tammerkoski Rapids

Tampere is nestled between Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi, two lakes with 18 metres of difference in level, which gave rise to the installation of several dams and power stations in the 19th century. An exhibition on the city's industrial past is also on at the Vapriikki Museum adjacent to the bridge.

Do & See

Take a stroll along Tampere's main artery, the 1,300-metre long Hämeenpuisto park, and immerse yourself in the rich cultural and industrial heritage of the city, adorned by colourful patches of trees and lakes.
