'''Tampere''' (Swedish ''Tammerfors'') is the "second city" of [[Finland]] with population over 200 000.
=== South to [[Helsinki]], [[Hämeenlinna]] and [[Turku]] {{E|63}} ===
Though much traffic there is going towards the suburbs instead of further south, Viinikka crossroads is within walking distance from downtown. Go south from the Orthodox church or the bus station on the east side of the street, then at the intersection cross the street and turn east, and finally turn south after going under the two railroad bridges. There's a bus stop [http://hitchwiki.org/maps/place/957/] across from (closed) a petrol station that gives ample space for a car to stop. Stop is shown on [http://alk.tiehallinto.fi/alk/kelikamerat/kamera-C1850201.html left in this camera]. It's sometimes little bit difficult for drivers to stop here, since they're just coming from big crossroad.
Use a sign because the road divides after some tens of kilometers into the E12 towards to Helsinki and Hämeenlinna and the E63 to Turku, and with a sign you might get a direct ride all the way to your destination.
=== East to [[Jyväskylä]] {{E|63}} ===

Take bus 28 from Keskustori (the city's central square) to the stop Vastarannankatu. Just twenty metres further up the road there's the entrance for the motorway, clearly signposted. Unfortunately, itIt's not really easy for cars to stop here because there's not so much space, plus but there is little traffic. You can walk a bit further to join the actual motorway, where you have a very large insertion road you can take advantage of, tho however the cars go too quick, even though they see you very well, they do not want to brake.<br/>The best option is as follows. Walking about 2 km from the place on the picture along the motorway (it's not a highway, it's illegal allowed to walk there), under the bridge and further, it brings you to a petrol station, where you can be rather dangerousask people, or stand on a bus stop right beside it. There you have the full traffic, and the cars drive slower, as there is a speed limit.
=== North-west to [[Vaasa]] ===
Walk from the city centre north-west until you´ll walk under a bridge and will see a road and an amusement park behind that. Cross this road, walk west and after maybe 200 metres you'll find a bus stop. This is not the best hitchhiking spot but with some luck you'll get a ride to a better place. Accept these shorter rides to get to a better spot. There are loads of busstops on the way to [[Vaasa]] from where one can hitchhike from.
