Tampere
Cost of living, housing, transport and neighborhoods in Tampere.
City Overview
Tampere is Finland’s largest inland city and second metro — an industrial city between two lakes (the "Manchester of the North") that successfully turned from textiles into tech and gaming (Remedy and others), machinery and health industries. Tampere University, a lively culture and a sauna culture (the "sauna capital of the world") are famous. Living and housing costs are below Helsinki with high livability, and it is very safe — Finland’s inland tech and culture center.
