How Tampere’s working to become European Capital of Culture 2026

Tampere is not only the sauna capital of the world, it's a cultural capital too. No wonder then it's working to become the European Capital of Culture 2026. To find out more, I met some of the people helping Tampere create cool cultural events.

Totta kai!! Tampere is now cultural capital there are many more interesting happening in Tampere then Helsinki or Turku. i would make european caoutal for sure

if had to choose one from Tampere,. Oulu + Savonlinna has to be Tampere. Oulu has not even a theatre and savonlinna has only opera two weeks. what else do they have to a europe capital ???

How did Oulu win this over Tampere?!!! Tampere is a million times better
