Näsinneula Observation Tower

Näsinneula Observation Tower is Tampere's best-known building and its landmark. Näsinneula is definitely a must to a visitor.

Näsinneula stands by the shore of Lake Näsijärvi in the Särkänniemi Adventure Park. At 168 metres, Näsinneula is the highest observation tower in the Nordic countries. The observation level and the revolving restaurant are not as high as that, yet the view is magnificent. You can see a fantastic panorama of the city centre and the lakes surrounding it.
