PHOTO GALLERY:
A week in TAMPERE (Finland)
August 2009


Page Description

This photogallery consists of many photos during our 8 days vacation in Tampere, South of Finland. We have visited numerous places mostly nature areas like Pyynikki, Viikin Island (Viikinsaari), and Seitseminen Nature reserve, but also large shopping complex (Ideapark) the well known amusement park of Sarkanniemi, and a number of churches in central Tampere such as Alexander church, the cathedral and the old church. We spent many hours bathing in cool-water lakes (example Kaukajarvi) and roaming in the streets of Tampere centre.

One of the main attractions in Tampere is the Sarkanniemi Amusment Park (aka lunapark here in Malta). While the children were still asleep we went up to an observation tower called Näsinneula tower which is 120m high and topped by a revolving restaurant. The elevator takes less than half a minute to reach the top !!! The views over Tampere were gorgeous. Tampere is a city in southern Finland located between two large lakes, Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi which can be seen in this photo.

Elegant vessels docked close by. These vessel probably never voyage the open see. because Tampere lake/river system is closed (prone to correction - should be checked with GoogleEarth)
