Café Europa Tampere

Great lounge atmosphere

""Café Europa" in Tampere is a proper lounge to hang out at if you want to spend some time sitting by yourself, enjoying the Central European lounge decor."

Café Europa, unlike the many other bars and pubs in Tampere, is a proper lounge to hang out, relax and have a drink at! It's a perfect place if you wanna have a relaxing evening with your friends, colleagues or family, or simply to escape to, if you just wanna sit down by yourself and not think about anything.

Café Europa is aptly named, because its interior is inspired by Central European living rooms. On the walls are a lot of mirrors, but very often, local artists may hang up their artworks for visitors to behold, and occasionally, to purchase.

The overall color scheme of Café Europa is quite dark, but in my opinion, that's what makes it so great for a lounge, as it is quite relaxing. It is perfect for any moment of the day, whether you wanna have a nice hot cup of coffee or a fancy cocktail. And I imagine, if you're more of a wine person, Café Europa has the perfect aesthetic to be enjoying a glass or two.

I like discovering and exploring both nature and urban areas, e.g a park with a pond, a walking or cycling trail in a forest area, a curious shop or an interesting-looking restaurant, café or bar! I'm of the conviction that there's always something new to explore, no matter...
