Tampere, Finland is a sought after vacation city. When hotels in Tampere city are booked, stay at Hotel Waltikka which is a 35 minutes drive from Tampere city center. Waltikka is 20 minutes drive from the Ideapark shopping center
We paid 75 Euros, for a double bed. Very reasonable. There are large rooms available for families. Go on a weekend or during the summer and you will get a family discount. Ask for company deals--Hotel Waltikka is willing to give discounted rates for large groups of over 15 persons. In summer the second night is cheaper.
On a Friday night we ordered a warm chicken salad. At this largest hotel near Tampere, half hours drive from Tampere center. The dining atmosphere is amazingly quiet and peaceful, with a wide choice of foods on the menu.
