Where to stay in Pyynikinrinne
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
A bed in Pyynikinrinne is judged mainly by the walk it leaves: in across Mariankatu towards central Tampere, or south into the Pyynikki esker reserve. Pirkankatu runs along the top. Housing sets the tone here, and if you want the reserve at the door rather than the streets of the centre, the western end towards the old Pohjois-Pirkkala line is the side to book. Amuri and Kaakinmaa sit within the same walk.

About Pyynikinrinne
What are the main landmarks in Pyynikinrinne?
One church carries the roll. Tampereen Adventtikirkko is the single building the record files under Pyynikinrinne, which leaves the district without a museum or a monument to send a visitor across town for. The draw is the ground itself.
Pyynikki and its esker reserve border the district to the south, and Särkänniemi, Amuri, Kaakinmaa and Ylä-Pispala all adjoin it, so the walking is done between neighbours rather than inside one district.
What is the history of Pyynikinrinne?
The western boundary of Pyynikinrinne is not a street at all but an administrative survival, the former border between Tampere and the municipality of Pohjois-Pirkkala. Streets fix the rest. Pirkankatu and Mariankatu set the northern and eastern limits, and the protected slope of Pyynikki fixes the southern one, so the shape of the district is written by three different kinds of line.
Kaakinmaa and Amuri lie alongside.
Where is Pyynikinrinne?
Pirkankatu closes the northern edge of Pyynikinrinne, Mariankatu the eastern, and the Pyynikki reserve runs along the south.
