First there were rapids. Then a city grew by the rapids: Tampere.
Established in 1779, the city has grown and changed a lot, sometimes turbulently. The success story of the red-bricked factories of Tampere are a fundamental part of Finland’s industrial history. Nowadays, Tampere is known as an innovative technology centre.
Finland’s third-largest city has the heart of a small town and an international atmosphere. Sparkling lakes, wuthering ridges, and the national landscape of the shores of the Tammerkoski rapids are the essence of the naturally beautiful Tampere.
Tampere Impressions offers a view into moments in the city’s history and the diversified city milieu and natural environment.
