This beautiful church was designed by famous Finnish architect Lars Sonck and built early 20th century. I highly recommend a visit and admiring all simple and beautiful detailed decorations. To get all out of the visit, I recommend to read about the church before hand.

Great little museum - free entry and a varied range of intelligently curated exhibitions covering aspects of working class culture and workers' history in Finland. The steam engine is enormous and worth going to have a look at. Some of the displays are quite quirky and humorous and all of it is thought provoking - I learned loads about the history of the co-operative movement and its trials and tribulations through the ups and downs of the Finnish economy in the 21st century.

Lovely Orthodox style church, very close to Tampere University and also railway station. Might remember you about the Uspenski Cathedral in Helsinki. When I went there, it was closed but a local explained that it would be open on the following day (a Saturday) at 18 o'clock. :) Enjoy Tampere.

The Finlayson area is located by the Tammerkoski rapids. It was founded in 1820 by James Finlayson from Scotland. He noticed the energy potential of free rapids. The Finlayson textile manufacturing ended in Tampere at the beginning of the 1990s. The old factory buildings are left. Today there are museums, offices, bars, restaurants, a movie theater, and a shopping center. This summer, you can find Finland’s first rooftop walk on the roofs of these historic buildings. There is also a rooftop cafe.
