Tour skating in the lake Näsijärvi
Skate the track on Näsijärvi. Take bus 11 to Kaupinkatu and walk about a kilometer to the Kaupinoja Beach to start. The track runs along the shore from Kaupinoja to Onkiniemi. You can rent equipment from Hiking Travel HIT if you need it.

Walk to Näsi Park. It is a nice park by Lake Näsijärvi created in the early 20th century. On the highest point of the park lies a memorial for the victims of the shipwreck of S/S Kuru. This spot offers a clear view of the lake and the approaching sunset.

Dinner at Näsinneula. Head to the revolving restaurant atop the sightseeing tower. It is expensive but specialises in Finnish ingredients and the results are above average. The views of the city and lake at twilight are exceptional.
