3) A very comfortable way to get to Tampere by car is to take a ferry from Rostock or Travemünde (Northern Germany) to Helsinki.
The journey takes about 26 hours on the Baltic Sea and instead of 2 days driving you can have a good night sleep in the cabin and enjoy your holiday already on the ferry. You will reach Tampere in 2 hours by car from Helsinki. In Tampere there are several safe places to park your car, we are happy to show you the best spots.
