    The highlight of our trip
    Puijo Tower is a 75-meter-high observation tower at the top of Puijo hill. It was opened in 1963. There are a cafe and a restaurant on the top of the tower with stunning panoramic views. There is a 7-euro entrance fee. Puijo Tower was the first tower with a revolving restaurant in the Nordic countries. You can walk to the tower from Kuopio city center. The climb is quite steep and it takes 40 minutes. Or take bus number 10 from the marketplace. On the western side are stairs next to the ski jumping hills. We descended that way back to the city center.

    Great views over Lakeland
    Amazing view from the top. We didn’t anticipate the view being so good. You can a lot of lakes and islands. It was very windy so bring a warm jumper. The floor below there was a cafe which also had good views snd sold pastries and drinks. There are trails through the forest too
