This is a wonderful indoor market hall located centrally in Tampere, with a large variety of local…read moreand international food selections inside. There are quite a few vegetarian options, including baked goods, and everything I tried was delicious. I don't remember the name of the bakery, but one of the stalls sells a type of cake called "perunaleivos" (included in the pictures I uploaded) - it's one of the most amazing pastries I've ever tried and I highly recommend it. The chocolate shop is also spectacular. They have unique flavors of truffles like rose white chocolate. Buy an assortment of flavors so you can try as many as you can!

Such a great spot!

If you are worried about a language barrier, most folks speak enough English to make a transaction with you/answer questions! And it doesn't hurt if you speak a little Finnish too :)

Prisma is a big hypermarket grocery store with everything else on the side…read more From the locations you can find services like mcdonalds, jewelry, laundry, alcohol etc. They have a huge selection on food items and everything related to your home's needs. Price's are your normal Finnish prices but comparing to other supermarkets this must be a bit cheaper than Citymarket or smaller stores like Siwa, Alepa, Sale, S-market or K-market.

This is a community/regional shopping mall located nicely near the heart of the city. It offers…read moremost of the services you would expect, but many brands you probably like are nowhere to be found. In fact, there aren't many brand stores as such. For me, this makes shopping take some unnecessary effort. There is no food court, but there are several restaurants that offer some variety. Again, when shopping for clothes the absence of brand stores is a bit of a problem for me. Other specialist stores, such as book stores, are generally pretty weak with few exceptions. There is a GameStop. There is no real electronics store, but you will at least find all the operator stores (with long lines) here. The parking garage is fairly spacious (with a car wash service that I have never tried) and the mall is easy to access by foot from pretty much any direction. The opening hours are also pretty good. Convenient when the weather is bad. There's an app for Koskikeskus. It looks like it's in Finnish only but there are symbols that should help. May be worth checking out if you can't find your way around the place. Overall, this mall is still okay.

Koskikeskus is the biggest shopping center in Tampere with 90 different stores of all kinds. It has…read moregood opening hours every day of the week and it is easy to find since its near both bus and train station even if it doesnt lie in the main streets of the city. The center lies beside the water that runs trough the city and thats the backround of the center name. Koskikeskus transelated is "center by the riverfalls" I recommend everyone to visit Koskikeskus if you are in Tampere!

The most expensive shop I visited whilst I wasin Tampere for a month!…read moreit is very conveniently located in center city - and has almost everything you'd want from a department store. Keeps the best brands as well -- Hence is also quite expensive. It's not a tourist attraction, just a regular department store - and you get liquor here.

They offer a smaller variety of grocery products than big hypermarkets but they have priced themselves a bit lower than the bigger rivals like Prisma and Citymarket. You can still find everything you need for your cooking here and even more since they have a somewhat strange habit to sell all kinds of stuff from underwear to snow shovels depending on the season. If you need food and not looking for the organic or the most exquisite premium option then you will be happy here.
