The tower gives panoramic views over the whole city! There are information boards provided so you can see what you are looking at and in which direction you are looking. On a clear day I can imagine that you can see for miles! Unfortunately, this was not the case when I was there but it was beautiful anyway. The area surrounding the tower is ideal for walking or jogging.
Go on top and take a look of all Kuopio. Then some food at the tower restaurant. These are must things to do when visiting but besides that Puijo does not offer anything else.
A great way to see the view of the Lakeland from above, absolutely amazingly stunning views from this tower, definitely worth a visit!
The restaurant is located at the top of a television tower. The restaurant is entered by a central lift. The floor next to the outside wall revolves slowly making one rotation per hour so it is possible to see all the superb views. The food was also lovely.
Puijo tower itself is not very interesting, but in the surrounding protected forests there is absolutely wonderful nature trails.
everything! the view wonderful, a little expensive the food only ok the weather in september is excellent
There is no many attractions to visit in Kuopio, but if you have time and you like beautiful landscapes this is a must see place. Especially in summer time you can see the beautiful Kallavesi lake and forests from here. It really looks like, that Kuopio is a city in the middle of the forest. Beautiful. The tower itself looks very 70s and old fashioned, so rather come see the view not the tower.There's also a restaurant and a cafe in the top of the tower. A souvenir gift store you can visit before entering the tower, which I think is quite a good store.
The view is so much beautiful.It is really a good place where you can visit with your family,friends and much more.
In puijo you can look to the town by huge hide, it's wonderfull. the road is very precipitous and next to the road there are many pristine pines and spruses.
A nice tower though the viewing platform was not opened due to great wind. That was a pity. We did get a chance to see the panorama through glass. Opportunity to dine at their restaurant. Had a lovely blueberry cake. Price is not the cheapest.
