Our walking tour in Tampere (4) Alexander church - Market Hall
On the next day morning we departed for our walking tour after having our breakfast at hostel. This time we made sure we have enough batteries with us. Before this, I felt it was interesting to tell you more about the elevator at hostel. It looks like a small room rather than an elevator. I’m very sure you can’t find this kind of elevator in Malaysia (I’m Malaysian). I snapped some photos about it.
The weather was good, not snowing, temperature was about -5°C. From the hostel, we walked to Pyynikin kirkkopuisto Park. The park is just opposite to our hostel. There is a church inside that park, the neo-Gothic Alexander church. This church was awarded the most beautiful church in Finland. It was built in the year 1881 and named after Emperor Alexander II, who ruled Finland and Russia at the time.
From that church, we just walked along the road to Hämeenkatu, main Street of Tampere. Before we arrived at the Hämeensilta bridge, there is Kauppahalli (the Market Hall) on our right. I like to visit this kind of place because you will find something really special. This market hall is the largest market hall in Nordic countries. You can find local delicacies such as “rievä” bread and mustamakkara (Black sausage; my colleague told me this is Tampere unique local food) at here. We were there for a short while to warm our body before we walked to the Keskustori (Central Square).
