This is a must in Tampere. If you wish very nice natural environment, great view or best-in-town doughnut this place is for you. Remember to visit the tower also.
Go to Pyynikki tower to enjoy the beautiful views of the city of Tampere and surroundings (you'll be able to see Nasijarvi lake to the north, and Pyhajarvi lake to the south). Also, there's a small café where you can eat the best munkkis (similar to a doughnut) of Finland. Plus, if you eat something at the café/restaurant, you'll get a free entrance to the tower (otherwise you'll have to pay a small fee).
This is an absolutely beautiful part of Tampere. The Tower is a great way to get a fantastic panoramic view of the city and surrounding area. Making it even better is the coffee shop on the ground floor. The doughnuts they serve are fantastic, and the coffee is better than most of the other places in town. The park in which the tower is located is also beautiful. I highly recommend visiting and strolling through the area making sure to have a doughnut.
Best and famous doughnuts in Tampere. There are allways people, mostly locals. And they are open every single day! The entrance fee to The Tower is 2 euros...
Just wonderful old granite tower where you can see over the town of Tampere and over the two big lakes on the both sides of the town. The tower is locating in the highest point of Pyynikki ridge and in the midle of Pyynikki National Park. There is a also a famous cafe in the tower building. The distance from the city centre is only two kilometers.
In the middle of the nature and wooden houses, walking through a labyrinth of green you reach the tower. This is the traditional place where you have a donut (munkki) and coffee/tea. Everything looks nice inside and outside. From the tower you get to see of course Tampere. It worth the walk/drive uphill.
must cafeteria in lovely environment. Pyynikki is very nice place to hiking and after you have visited Pispala it´s time to have some cup of coffee and fresh buns.
I liked it that it's only € 2,- to get up.You see a lot of the sourroundings.There is also a small coffee place to grad some drinks.
See the perfect view upstairs and eat nice pullas downstairs. Only minus is you need to walk for a while to get there and it is not bad at all when you are surrounded by the trees.
We've been to the tower climbing in late february, the cold is no reason not to do it! (You also get a warm donut and coffee after..) DO IT!!!To the scenic: Probably it will be amazing in summer when you're on the tower and relax, everything is green etc. But you really see the tampere thing, the two lakes and what is al about :-) my best thing in tampere.
