One of the most important landmarks of Tampere is Tammerkoski. This picture was taken on a bridge called Patosilta, where you can hear the water splashing down. It looks and sounds almost like a big waterfall.

Tallipiha (”stableyard”) is a place in Tampere where you can buy handmade goods such as chocolate or jewelry. There are also lots of cafes in Tallipiha, and in the summer you can find horses, sheep and other animals there.
