Incentives & Conference Groups in Tampere

Tampere is a growing destination in Finland for Incentive and Conference groups.

With venues ranging from small venues in the nature to city hotels to large arena, there is plenty to offer Conference groups, as well as Incentive programmes that are fresh and exciting.

In summer time beautiful lakes and saunas offer place to relax and connect with the nature and Tampere restaurant scene is really vibrant.
