Jussi Lähde - MY 5 Treasures Tampere |
1. Himmelblau Graphic Art Studio Himmelblau is a traditional graphic art studio and a meeting place for the best Finnish graphic artists. The Himmelblau studio and gallery are located in the former Finlayson factory, restored and converted into an arts and entertainment complex.
»» Finlaysoninkuja 9, Tampere. Tel. +358 (0)3 213 3050. www.himmelblau.fi
2. Restaurant Telakka Telakka brings students, artists, and other drifters who have no binding timetables together. Under the same roof you find an old storehouse converted into a restaurant, a stage, and various exhibition spaces - and the best jukebox in Finland! Get friendly with the staff and ask them to show you the building's secret - a clay sauna.

3. Tampere Cathedral The best minds of Finnish architecture and fine arts were brought together in the early 1900s. The result: probably the last breathtakingly beautiful church in all of Europe before church architecture hit its low point.

4. Restaurant Hella ja Huone This tiny private restaurant is absolutely one of the best restaurants in Finland. The French menu and subtle elegance are better suited for cordial get-togethers than business meetings. In terms of menu and drink selections, I suggest complete surrender to the staff's recommendations.

5. Nokia's Greatest Invention Nokia is a small town about 20 kilometers west of Tampere. At the Teutori Grill Kiosk in Nokia, you can find the greatest invention ever from this town: the Nokia Hot Dog. Remember to turn off your mobile phone while enjoying.
