What if a walk was actually an adventure?

Take the first step – stories are waiting just around the corner!

Amazing Walks routes, available in our mobile app, are not your typical city walks. These are themed, story-driven journeys that show you a different side of the city.

How do Amazing Walks adventures work?

Amazing Walks runs through a Amazing City mobile app, available for both Android and iOS devices. You can purchase the content directly in the app.

The app uses a map and location-based checkpoints to guide your route, enriched with interactive and informative tasks along the way. You can explore the routes whenever it suits you – there are no time limits once you start.

Feel free to include your own stops along the way as you explore the city at your own pace. Checkpoints disappear from the map one by one as they are completed. The routes are designed to take place outdoors and do not include guided visits inside venues.

Choose your adventure and enjoy the city on your own terms!

 

All Walks are in the Amazing City app. The app is available for download on Android devices via Google Play and on Apple iOS devices via the App Store.

Amazing Walks in Tampere

Walk Like a Moomin – Exploring the Moomin World in Tampere

Are you ready to step into a world of experience?

Let’s break the routine together, embrace the moment, help each other shine, and dare to enjoy the journey – let’s live like the Moomins!

Along the way, you’ll wander through the streets, parks, and alleys of central Tampere. As you go, you’ll get to know the beloved characters of Moominvalley a little better, as well as the world and life philosophy of the iconic artist Tove Jansson.

The route takes you through the city center, covering areas like Koskipuisto, the Finlayson district, Näsikallio, Hämeenpuisto, Alaranta – and there’s also an optional path to the Moomin Museum.

The content is not specifically designed for small children, but they are welcome to join with an adult.

The full walk is about 4–5 km, but you can explore it in parts. Pick up where you left off, and start from any checkpoint.

The route follows city streets, so it is accessible.

The adventure is available in the Amazing City app, which you can download from Google Play or the App Store.

Living Finlayson: Layers in Time

Dive into the fascinating stories of the historic Finlayson factory district — tales of inspiring, and at times touching, human lives, and the factory’s legacy that helped shape the rise and prosperity of the city of Tampere.

This route takes you through the Finlayson area and into the heart of the empire that grew around it. Guided by our mobile app, you’ll walk from the Finlayson Palace to Tallipiha and all the way to the old Milavida, now known as Näsilinna. Along the way, you’ll uncover the profound impact the Finlayson factory had on the development of the entire area.

Today, the Finlayson district remains a vibrant workplace for thousands and serves as a prime example of a historic industrial site repurposed for the people of the city — full of cafés, restaurants, art exhibitions, and events.

Could the innovative spirit of the von Nottbeck family still echo within these red-brick walls?

Come and experience it for yourself!

The adventure is available in the Amazing City app, which you can download from Google Play or the App Store.

Mauri of Garden Channel

For two hundred years, a clan of badgers has lived in the winding tunnels and caves beneath Finlayson. In this delightful adventure, you’ll meet one of them – Mauri.

Mauri has a deep love for earthworms, and unfortunately, that passion has gotten him into serious trouble.

Mauri has been arrested!

In what’s now being called The Great Earthworm Scandal, someone has broken into the legendary earthworm cellar of Finlayson’s mayor, Kaitsu Karhu, stealing a large portion of his prized vintage worms. Mauri was found near the scene, happily munching on a worm. He swears – by his big furry paws – that he simply found it on the street.

Now Mauri needs your help. Can you prove his innocence and set him free?

This adventure game takes place in the Amazing City mobile app.

Reading skills are required to play, or alternatively, the support of an adult companion. The game takes place in the Finlayson area and is fully accessible.
