The Finnish city knows how to throw a party
I spent a few nights in Tampere, the 'wannabe' Eurovision city – and it put on the show of a lifetimeI've been following Eurovision for years now, through the highs and given I'm a British fan the many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many lows. But one country that also doesn't have a flawless record is Finland, who has only won the competition once, back in 2006 with the memorable Lordi and 'Hard Rock Hallelujah'.
And even if the bid fails, following my time there in the blisteringly-cold winter, I can confirm that anyone travelling there will find plenty to do, after all Tampere is the capital of saunas, museums and Fairtrade bananas.Tampere is a city bustling with life and features countless activities from amusement parks to museums to churches to concert halls and of course more saunas than you can shake a stick at.
