Pispala
A hillside neighbourhood of colourful wooden houses on the steep slopes of Pyynikki Esker, linked by stairways and narrow lanes, with views over Lake Pyhäjärvi and a community of artists and cafés.
Originally a district of self-built workers' homes, the colourful wooden houses are scattered along the steep slopes of Pyynikki Esker and linked by steps and narrow lanes. Today it is home to artists and cafés, making it one of Tampere's most photogenic neighbourhoods. You can walk here along the ridge from the Pyynikki observation tower, and it is on the way to the Rajaportti sauna or the lakeside below the hill. Entry is free. From the city centre, the bus takes about 15 minutes.
