Experience Nature and Lakes in Tampere

Tampere, a gem nestled between two stunning lakes, offers an unparalleled blend of urban charm and natural beauty. The region boasts an array of picturesque landscapes, from serene lakes to lush forests, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts.

Tampere is renowned for its beautiful lakes. Lake Näsijärvi and Lake Pyhäjärvi frame the city, providing idyllic settings for swimming, boating, and fishing. The sparkling waters and scenic shorelines offer a perfect retreat from city life, inviting visitors to relax and unwind.

During the winter the lakes turn into winter paradises. Pure white snow sparkling in the winter sun and people ice-skating across the frozen lake is a sight to behold. During the winter you can also go ice-fishing and of course cold plunging!

Tampere region is a home to beautiful national parks: Helvetinjärvi, Seitseminen, and Isojärvi. Each park offers unique experiences, from the rugged cliffs and deep gorges, to ancient forests and tranquil bogs, to wooded mountains and deep ravine valleys alternating in a landscape shaped by the Ice Age. These parks are perfect for hiking, birdwatching, and simply soaking in the pristine beauty of Finnish nature.

In addition to hiking in the national parks you can get to know the parks history, camp, fish or go paddling! Many service providers also arrange guided tours around the parks.

Nature is present all around

Even within the city, nature is never far away. Tampere’s numerous parks, green spaces, and nature trails seamlessly integrate urban life with the great outdoors. The Hatanpää Arboretum is a sight to behold and Pyynikki Ridge with its breathtaking views and iconic observation tower are just a few examples of how nature thrives within the city limits.

Across the city center flows Tammerkoski which creates a beautiful scenery to admire from Koskipuisto. The rapids are a must see when coming to the city!

Tampere seamlessly blends urban life with nature, offering lush green spaces even in the city center, while a quick tram or bus ride transports you to expansive forests and serene natural landscapes, perfect for a deeper escape into the wild.
