Where to stay in Liisankallio
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Liisankallio gives a quieter address than the middle of Tampere without going far from it, since Tammela and Tulli lie immediately west and the walk in crosses one district only. Kalevan kirkko is the marker. If you are here for the Kaleva side rather than the old centre, beds towards Kaleva and Kalevanrinne keep the church and the Kalevala-muistomerkki closest.
Petsamo adjoins to the north.

About Liisankallio
What are the main landmarks in Liisankallio?
Two names carry the district. Kalevan kirkko is the church that gives the whole Kaleva side its landmark, and the Kalevala-muistomerkki stands as the other entry the record files under Liisankallio. Kalevanharju lies south and Petsamo north, so both the church and the monument are reached from the same short walk across Liisankallio. Church and monument close the file.
What is the history of Liisankallio?
Liisankallio was known as Tammelan vainio before it took its present name, a title that pointed back towards Tammela rather than towards the Kaleva blocks it is grouped with. The name Kaleva does the grouping. Locals fold Liisankallio, Kaleva and Kalevanrinne into one district when they speak of Kaleva, so the older boundary between them matters more on paper than on the street.
Tulli and Tammela lie west.
Where is Liisankallio?
Petsamo borders Liisankallio to the north, Kaleva and Kalevanrinne to the east, and Kalevanharju to the south.
