Finland is called the land of the 1000 lakes and Tampere is very much in the heart of the Lake District. There are several operators serving tourists with tours of the lakes. Going on a steamboat is a charming way of seeing the countryside. /Agneta, air hostess

A museum devoted to the works of Tove Janson, creator of the Moomins. At first glance, the world of Moomin can be perceived as only for children, but the stories and artwork appeals to all ages. /Karl-Heinz

Perhaps the only museum devoted to Lenin left in the world. Lenin met Stalin for the first time in Tampere in 1905. It's not a great site, but just the fact that they devoted a museum for this guy makes it an interesting visit. /François
