Tampere is situated on a narrow isthmus between two vast lakes. The blue waters and parklands typical to the region can be enjoyed within the city itself, while a short excursion puts visitors in the midst of Nordic forests and rolling countryside.

With blue waters, green parks and red-brick architecture and over 200,000 inhabitants, Tampere is the third largest city in Finland. The city has developed from a milling town into a lively centre of culture, conferences and congresses, business, science, art and tourism.
