 Markets, festivals, music and dance |
Keskustori Tampere 33100 Finland |
The Central Square of Tampere is a place of commerce and a meeting point for people. The general market day is Monday, but there are several theme markets organised at the Central Square throughout the year (for example the Vappu market on 1 May, the crayfish market, a Lapp market or the "countryside comes into the city" market). During the summer there are events here almost every weekend, because the Central Square is often the site for festivals, concerts and dance performances, too. There is a mention of Keskustori already in the first town plan of 1775. During that time the square was larger than today, reaching all the way to the Tammerkoski rapids (the city theatre had not been built yet). There were wooden houses around the square, but only one of them still stands today; this is the Old Church, built in 1824, and its bell tower (1828). It was only in the late nineteenth century when the city water and sewage network was properly constructed so that the big stone buildings could be built next to the Central Square. The Southern side of the square is undergoing some changes. The old bus stops and the kiosk will be taken down and modern, glass-covered bus and taxi stops will be built. The other side of the area will be constructed as a small market area and a new kiosk will be built next to that. Also the streets going down to the Laukontori marketplace will be turned into pedestrian streets, at least partially. Review © 2007, Wcities |

European-style boulevard |
Hämeenpuisto Tampere 33200 Finland |
This kilometre-long park was built in 1909. Back then its main purpose was to act as a firewall between two districts in Tampere. Today Hämeenpuisto Park has nothing to do with fire prevention, and has mostly recreational and cultural value. Two busy streets run on each side of the narrow park, hence the impression of a boulevard. The northern end of Hämeenpuisto has is a small square with a children's playground and an ice cream kiosk in the summer. The park is full of benches, so it is a good spot to take a breather and just watch people go by. In the middle of the park, next to the city library Metso, there is another square. Here the Statue of Freedom, made by sculptor Viktor Jansson, commemorates the victory of the Whites in the Finnish Civil War in 1918. The residents of Tampere say that the White soldier in the statue is shaking his first towards Pispala, which used to be the living area of the working classes. It is worth seeing for yourself whether you agree with this. There are many other statues and monuments in Hämeenpuisto, among them one in honour of the famous Realist author Minna Canth.

Important crossing point |
Hämeensilta Tampere 33100 Finland |
Hämeensilta bridge lies halfway along main street Hämeenkatu, right in the middle of the city. There are four statues of hunters by sculptor Wäinö Aaltonen standing at each end and on both sides of the beautiful, arched bridge. There have been large bridges in this place even before Hämeensilta: a wooden bridge was built here in 1848 and a steel framework one in 1884. However, when traffic increased, a competition was launched in 1924 to design a bridge to replace the old one. The winning proposal was built so that it could be inaugurated for the 150th anniversary of the city of Tampere in October 1929. Today, the Hämeensilta bridge is used by thousands of people every day, and in a sense the bridge can be seen as a meeting point between the flow of people and the flow of the Tammerkoski rapids.

Peaceful spot within the buzzing city |
Koskipuisto Tampere 33100 Finland http://www.tampere.fi/ytoteto/... |
Many people would say this park is one of the most romantic spots in Tampere. Located in the centre of the city, it still retains a peaceful and idyllic atmosphere. Against the roar of Tammerkoski rapids it is easy to imagine yourself far away from the hassle of the surrounding city. The amazingly colourful flowers in Koskipuisto, especially the gorgeous flaming-red canna lilies create a striking contrast to the thundering Tammerkoski rapids. The statues in Koskipuisto include Shepherd Boy by Yrjö Liipola, Swans by Jussi Mäntynen and the monument to the Finnish soldier, Will-o'-the-wisps by Aimo Tukiainen. There is a separate children's playground attached to Koskipuisto park, built according to the wishes of children who took part in a competition organized specifically for the design of the playground. An interesting tradition in Koskipuisto is the baptism of the teekkari on the First of May in Finnish. During the "baptism", hundreds of people gather on Hämeensilta bridge to watch first-year technical students at the Tampere University of Technology being dipped into the ice-cold waters of the Tammerkoski rapids.

The main route of movement and life in Tampere |
Hämeenkatu Tampere 33100 Finland |
Hämeenkatu is the main street in Tampere. All the largest department stores, banks, insurance companies and other major businesses can be found along it. Hämeenkatu is the only cobble-stoned street in Tampere, and it is going to be kept that way. The street was first shown on a map in 1779, but it had a different name then. In the beginning of the nineteenth century Tampere was a city of craftsmen, and rows of low wooden houses and workshops lined the main street. The growth of industry in Tampere led to better standards of living, and the first stone buildings were erected at the end of the century. It was during this time that the western side of Hämeenkatu street got its art nouveau look. Eleven of the sixteen plots between the central square and Hämeenpuisto park were re-built during 1890s, and most of these buildings still stand today. On the other side of the Hämeensilta bridge the oldest buildings represent the Neo-Renaissance style. The new Hämeensilta with its wonderful hunter statues (by sculptor Wäinö Aaltonen) was built in 1929. The bridge is one of the best-known symbols of Tampere these days. Hämeenkatu is the centre-point of life in Tampere. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The central square's wooden landmark |
Keskustori 6 Tampere 33100 Finland +358 3 219 0266 |
The Neoclassical Old Church has stood on the Central Square since 1824. At that time, there were only a few thousand inhabitants in Tampere. The wooden church has been restored and otherwise altered on several occasions, but its present appearance is very close to the original. The church bell tower features the oldest public clock in Tampere, a one-hand apparatus made by Juho Könni. The altarpiece was painted by Robert Wilhelm Ekman in 1831. The church is a popular venue for weddings and small concerts. The Old Church is the home of the Swedish Congregation of Tampere. Services are held in Swedish at 10.30am on Sundays. In addition, an international group gathers for a service in English at 4pm every Sunday. Everyone is welcome to attend. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Tampere City Library, Metso, is a distinctive and memorable building. It is also the central library of the province of Pirkanmaa. The building has been named Metso because from a bird's eye perspective the building looks like a wood grouse (metso in Finnish). The library was designed by architects Reima and Raili Pietilä, very famous and well respected in their field. In addition to Metso, they have also designed Mäntyniemi, the official residence of the President of Finland. Metso is the most visited library in Finland, with 5,000-6,000 visitors every day. There are 1.1 million books and 91,000 recordings in the library. There are also lecture rooms, a café and an office that distributes EU information to the people of Tampere in the library.

The first railway station in Tampere was built in 1876. However, this station was too small for the growing city; a new, more spacious station was needed. The new railway station and clock tower were built in 1936 and together they form an impressive eastern end to Hämeenkatu street. The building represents Functionalist style and its outer walls are covered with beautiful, burnt-red brick. The winds of change are blowing at the Tampere railway station again. The platforms are going to be covered with a huge glass roof - there is also a plan to turn the railway station into a huge transport center, which would also include a bus station.

Centre of political thought in Tampere |
Keskustori Tampere 33100 Finland +358 3 212 2393 |
The Tampere Town Hall was designed by architect Georg Schreck and inaugurated in January 1890 (there had been an old wooden town hall in the same place before). The Town Hall is the centre of political events in Tampere. The city's inhabitants gather at the central square in front of the building for example on Finland's Independence Day (6 December) and New Year's Eve to listen to the mayor speak. There is a granite slate with historical text carved on it in the stone base of the building. The text tells us how a proposal demanding Finnish independence from Russia was declared from the Town Hall balcony during the great strike in 1905. The proposal also demanded universal suffrage, as well as the freedoms of assembly, association and speech. After this these principles were commonly accepted in the whole country, and the dream of Finnish independence finally came true on 6 December 1917. The Independence Day torch procession organised by the University of Tampere and the Tampere University of Technology ends in front of the Town Hall. Here Finland's national anthem Maamme (Our Land) is sung as a way of showing respect to Finland's independence and to the war veterans who fought to defend it during the Second World War.
