Great restaurant with good view of whole city. Restaurant revolves, so you get to see everything. Food and wine is good and the service excellant.

The best donuts in the world plus very cool view over the city. The location could not be better as the observation tower is located on top of a ridge in the middle of Pyynikki park.

A place to come to do some exercise or just take a short break in beautiful landscape. Most beautiful views from Tampere and excellent cafe in the Observation Tower.

This is the place where also locals go for a walk, jogging and especially for donats. The tower is not very high, but you get quite a nice view from there anyway. But take a walk along the walking trails and you will find really nice views. Why not take a coffee and donut to go and have a small... More

Place is something else you imagine. View over Tampere and for two lakes, Näsi- and Pyhäjärvi. Oldfashion style, screaming elevator and no neonlights. And then coffee and donut. Best you can imagine. Best part of Tampere.

This was my second visit to the Pyynikki area, had been there once in October 3 years back, and the beauty did not strike me as much then because it was post summer, and there was no snow yet, it was all a bit overcast and dull then. This time, thanks to a cold March, there was lots of snow,... More
