I absolutely loved living and working in Tampere. Kind people. Lovely sights. Beautiful forests. Loved experiencing snow the first time. If you love nature, you will love this city for sure Got to see the Moomin museum. Got to go to visit Vapriiki museum. Lots to see and experience.

Very safe, especially for women. Fun in wintertime, best at -20°. Snowshoeing, cross country and downhill skiing, winter hikes, reindeer on the roads, dog sledging, snow scooter and fat biking, sauna - a ton to do. Local food, especially reindeer, is tasty. Easy to get around even with public transport, KTT airport not far. Prices went up a bit since Corona.
Posted: July 13, 2025Experienced: December, 2024Finland is very safe overall. Cars and trams will stop for you to cross the streets. I've felt safe traveling alone. There are lights in the forest until 10pm (in the winter). For traveling I'd recommend using omnibus, it's cheaper than the trains. The food is not bad, just tasteless. But I'd definitely recommend trying the Fazer chocolate 😋
Posted: May 13, 2025I tend to visit late as I live in the nearby city and the nightlife is better, and I generally feel safe and aren't concerned about being by myself even if it's in the middle of the night and it's less crowded.

I feel safe here. Finns tend to leave you alone and respect your privacy and space. If you need help in Finland, it's best to ask for it, because here personal space is honoured and it's considered rude to approach you directly. Don't take this aloofness as Finns being rude :) here even celebrities can walk the street undisturbed. People will gladly help if you ask. Be warned though: usually shy Finnish men can become very "friendly" and curious when drunk. They are mostly harmless and don't usually touch you.
