EVERYMAN’S RIGHTEveryman’s right to enjoy nature – the sempiternal Finnish way! Take a mug with you and pick blueberries in Kauppi – clean enough to eat even without washing! The Region boasts almost 192 km2 of natural parks.

FISHING IN THE TAMMERKOSKI RAPIDSDon’t get puzzled if you see someone casually flying their lures into the rapids right at Koskipuisto. That’s the nearest fishing spot, you see. If you happen to have fishing gear with you, buy a license at Nippon Verkko (Hallituskatu 27). Tammerkoski

PISPALA SHOT TOWERThe 55 metre high Pispala shot tower has seen tons of lead shot balls dropped between the years 1905 and 1972. It’s the only one in Finland!

SAUNA CULTUREA beloved remain of the town’s worker background are the public saunas. Even though most Finns have their own private saunas, some still prefer the company of fellow sauna lovers. First-timers are always welcome!

I think Tampere should be the Finnish capital, because it’s got so much cool stuff like Särkänniemi,

nice lights and shops and of course the Pikku Kakkonen playground. It’s

even cool in the dark! -Alisa
