The Puijo tower is an observation tower at the top of Puijo hill in Kuopio, Eastern Finland. Opened in 1963, the tower is 75 metres (246 ft) tall and has a revolving restaurant with 100 seats and a beutiful cafe. It was the first tower with a revolving restaurant in the Nordic countries. The current Puijo tower has been visited by over 5.5 million tourists. The current tower is the third overall. When it was completed in 1963 the second one, built in 1906, was dismantled. The first tower was built in 1856. On the western side of the tower there are three ski jumping hills.
We were lucky with the weather & the tower offered ridiculously good views in all directions. An added novelty was the views onto the ski jumps, allowing you to get an idea of what it must feel like to be about to set off down one. Took the steps with 9-yr old boys rather than the lift just for the adventure which was good for burning off some energy before filling them with doughnuts (overpriced, day old) at the top. (Brilliant views from the cafe too, with seating running around the 360-degree windows)

If you have time for only one place in Kuopio, this is it. In front oh the over 100 years old building you can see the Finnish doppelgänger for Manneken Piss, the statue Veljmies. Inside the Market Hall you can buy local delicases (such as kalakukko)!and watch local old-timers exhancing news and spending time over a cup of coffee.

We choose this to spend time with teens in the dark. Nice idea, views were funnier to explore on a horse. We know how to ride so we hoped for more speed but it was not possible. Only afterwards on the field, which was unfortunately snowy and slippery. Anyhow it was a great experience. Prices were also very modest.
