Hi everyone! I am a genuine native of Tampere. I've also travelled a lot and participated in many freetours so I thought hey, why not organize them too! Tampere may not have thousands of years of history, but it is a sympathetic and beautiful city. Welcome to visit!
Welcome to the heart of Tampere, Finland's vibrant city known for its rich industrial heritage and lively cultural scene! This guided walking tour gives you insight about the city center's most iconic landmarks. Starting at the Central Square, you'll be led through the charming streets, exploring historic sites such as the Finlayson area, once a major textile factory, now a bustling center for restaurants, museums and entertainment.
As we stroll along the Tammerkoski rapids, a nationally recognized cultural heritage site, you'll hear stories that bring the past to life, highlighting how this power source helped shape Tampere into a major industrial city.
