Welcome to Tampere for 24hours!
By finnish standards Tampere is a big city with over 200 000 inhabitants; still the city has managed to keep the friendly small town feel.
Tampere is located between two lakes, and the nature in this town is more than gorgeous. The city is also a birthplace of finnish industrialism: Finland’s first electric light was lit here and Nokia company was also found in this region.
The reason why we media & culture students love this city, is because it offers such a wide variety of culture as well. We want you to know all the best venues for good music, gigs and culture events, and of course the best places for chilling after a good night out.
We have planned a loose schedule which you can follow when visiting Tampere, of course focusing on places that music enthusiasts would love! All the venues mentioned here can be found on the map.

Cafe Europa is also a great place for a later breakfast toasts and a coffee. Cafe Europa is even accepted by Blockfest, one of the biggest finnish music festival which is held in Tampere.
