I live in the area of Tampere and could tell you a lot about it. Just ask what you would like to know. You can find information on Tampere at http://www.tampere.fi/english_v/ and about Lapinniemi at http://www.holidayclub.fi/english/tampereen_kylpyla_etusivu.html The area of Tampere has also other spas in addition to Lapinniemi: in Nokia and Ikaalinen.
