Western Finland Natural Environment
Tampere, Western Finland, Finland Tampere is a nice small city in Finland. Good weather in the summer and the city is very accessible with good transportation. We stayed just outside the centre about 10 mins walk. The lake front area is re-furbished and has good cruise trips on the twin lakes that surround the city. Beware that it is not cheap but the nightlife is good, particularly if you like rock or heavy metal. Locals are very friendly. Nightlife Sightseeing Lake Cruise Shopping Rock music Good tip?
