A very popular spot. Why, I have no idea. It is nice to have a look here go up the tower, have a dougnut and a coffee, but that's about all there is. More

Pyynikki Park and Observation Tower has the best view of nature has to offer....It seems simple but when you can clearly see how beautiful the view is and it's open to the public for free that's pricelss...Most people who live in cities with tons on modern structures need to get to this location to embrace life the right way.....

This tower is well worth a visit. The views are stunning over the lakes and surrounding forests and there are some great woodland walks in the area. At the bottom of the tower is a small cafe which sells amazing coffee and donuts.....just what is needed on a brisk and bright winters day after being at the top of the... More

If you are visiting Tampere, this is definitely one of the "must see" places. Tower is not so high as Näsinneula, but still you have amazing nice views from it. Also the cafeteria downstairs is excellent. Their donuts are really famous among the local people, many say that there you have the best donuts. More

We visited the observation tower in January. The weather was nice, the sky was clear and it was really beautiful. The entrance hall was too crowded, so we could not taste local doughnuts and coffeem that have been recommended to us. More

More intimate than Näsinneula tower and nice little café selling the best doughnuts in town. Pyynikki area is a must to visit during a stay at Tampere, at least in my opinion. Great views to both lakes and over the town. More
