Where to stay in Tulli
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Rooms here sit on old freight ground. Tulli lies at the centre of Tampere with the railway yard alongside, so a bed in the district trades quiet for the shortest walk to the trains and to Muumimuseo. If you would rather be at the older end, the Tullikamari and Pakkahuone side of Tulli keeps both buildings in sight.
The centre of Tampere begins at the door.

About Tulli
What are the main landmarks in Tulli?
Muumimuseo is the name that brings visitors to Tulli, a museum on ground otherwise given over to the older customs and packing buildings the district grew around. Tullikamari is the older draw. Pakkahuone stands with it, the packing house that worked alongside the customs house, and the two together still fix what the name of the district means.
Little else is listed.
What is the history of Tulli?
A town plan was drawn for the area in 1900. The Tullikamari customs house followed a year later, in 1901, and with the Pakkahuone packing house beside it gave the district both its working purpose and the name it still carries. Freight decided the rest.
Storage, office and production buildings went up from the end of the 19th century, drawn by the railway yard alongside.
Where is Tulli?
