Hostelling @ Dream Hostel in Tampere

'Hostelling @...' is a post where we take a quick look at the hostels around Finland. This time we're visiting Dream Hostel in Tampere.

Tampere used to be the centre of industrialisation in Finland and this can still be seen in the city's daily life as well as art and culture. These days Tampere is a vibrant university town and there is something going on all the time.

There's plenty of space in the common areas at Dream Hostel.

Dream Hostel is a funky design hostel that has a great backpacker atmosphere. Take advantage of the hostel's offerings: pick a book from the book swap or rent a bicycle.

You get privacy in the dorm rooms too, thanks to the well designed bunk beds.

The staff at Dream Hostel will also tell you the best spots for the local nightlife, which is just around the corner from the hostel.

These guys at Dream Hostel obviously know that hostelling is fun.

How to get to Tampere? Easily. By train, by bus (either Expressbus or Onnibus) or fly to Tampere by RyanAir from London, Germany, Milan or Budapest.
