Hotel

My son is attending Tampere University and will be travelling with his dad (it%26#39;s a male bonding thing) to Helsinki for a few days then to Tampere. He will be living in residence located at Lapinkaari 1, 33180 Tampere and I would like to book a hotel close to this address but also close enough to the city centre. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Tampere%26#39;s not that big a city and Lapinkaari is no more than a stiff walk from the centre. You could well be in the downtown area at any hotel that meets your requirements.

John the Finn I somehow knew you be responding. Online maps are very deceiving and the city appears much larger than it obviously is. Thanks for the information.

It%26#39;s quite a hike to the center, ~2kms.





There%26#39;s Holiday Club Tampere just in the vicinity www.holidayclubspahotels.com/index.php…





Another option would be Sokos Hotel Tammer, it%26#39;s in the center, but on that side of the city.

Two klicks quite a hike? I guess it depends on your perspective.



Public transport is excellent in Finland if you%26#39;ve lost your ability to walk farther than the kerb.




|||



For many North Americans walking more than 1 block is out of the question, even though their blocks are larger.




|||



It%26#39;s getting that way in England, too. The sole function of legs is to get you to the car.

Two kilometers is nothing. We Canadians love to walk, hike, bike. Thanks again for the info.
