What is the best time to travel to Tampere?

Spring and summer are the best seasons to travel to Tampere because the city is at its finest and liveliest. The city is full of events and the sun is shining from dawn till dusk. However, Finland and Tampere are worth seeing at any time of the year. In the winter you can admire the Christmas lights and the snowy scenery or visit a traditional Finnish Christmas fair. We advise you to book your experiences beforehand regardless of the season.
