Näsinneula tower, Observation tower and revolving restaurant in Särkänniemi, Finland.
The 168-meter Näsinneula tower features a viewing platform at 124 meters, offering panoramic views extending 20 kilometers across Tampere's urban and natural landscapes.
Construction of the tower began in 1970, with builders using slipform casting to raise the structure at a rate of four meters daily, completing the frame in 33 days.
The tower serves as the primary symbol of Tampere, hosting significant celebrations, family gatherings, and special occasions in its rotating restaurant since its 1971 opening.
Two high-speed elevators transport visitors to the observation deck in 32 seconds, with wheelchair accessibility ensuring all guests can experience the panoramic views.
The tower's weather beacon system uses colored lights to communicate weather conditions: green indicates rain, while yellow signals sunshine across the city.
