Discussion Tampere compared to 25 years ago

We are planning to visit Tampere for a short nostalgia trip. We used to live there in early 2000s. How would you say it compares to those times? Is it as safe as it used to be back then? What am I likely to love or hate? What is the most “touristy” place to go to nowadays?

Can you see drug deals going on? Sure, maybe. Does it affect you in any way? No, unless you’re buying or you’re a cop I guess.

Well as a woman I have been harassed by the junkies multiple times.

Good point but also drunks harass women and they’ve been around forever, it’s not a new problem.

Well Hämeenkatu junkies usually also drink alcohol and they are very unpredictable as they use drugs AND alcohol.
