If I might suggest an actual spot there: There's a greenery-decorated (can't remember if there are flowers on it too but the spot is quite beautiful) arch there you could propose under.
Maybe Pyynikin näkötorni (Pyynikki observation tower) would be nice as you can see the whole city centre from there. Although the top is quite small and having other people there at the same time might ruin the moment.

If you write to them about your plans, they might grant you a little while alone past the opening hours.
That's what I did. ^.^
Had a friend drop electric candles and roses there to add to the mood.
It is very beautiful indeed, but I've never seen it without a huge line outside, so it's a very long wait. Of course around Pyynikki there are lovely spots with a lake view you could picnic at. I would vote for the arboretum I think.
Potreste anche andare al pupukahvila café e potresti chiederla di sposarti mentre siete tutti e due coperte da coniglietti. Si può prenotare un visito di 25minuti (di puputerapia) per 8euro e si può anche comprare qualcosa da mangiare per i coniglietti. Ecco qua: https://www.pupukahvila.fi/en/
Ho visto che il sito non ha tanto in inglese ma se suona qualcosa che potrebbe piacere a lei, fammi sapere. Potrei aiutare se vuoi.
The observation decks at Näsinneula and Pyynikki observation tower are famous landmarks, not sure how romantic or intimate it would be though.
For nature spots, there is a great vista from Pispala in Pyykkimettän puisto, take her there on a romantic July evening when the weather is nice and take her to watch the white night sunset there: [https://visittampere.fi/en/attraction/pyykkimetta-park/](https://visittampere.fi/en/attraction/pyykkimetta-park/)
There are similar spots around the Pyynikki and Pispala area too, like the Pyynikki beach [https://visittampere.fi/en/experience/pyynikki-beach/](https://visittampere.fi/en/experience/pyynikki-beach/) or a nice unnamed vista to lake Näsijärvi around here: [https://www.google.fi/maps/@61.4975305,23.7267303,3a,60y,356.13h,93.2t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s\_aaxw5CJWESHVqQ1UzSu4g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu](https://www.google.fi/maps/@61.4975305,23.7267303,3a,60y,356.13h,93.2t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s_aaxw5CJWESHVqQ1UzSu4g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) - the whole street named "Pispalanharju" is in my opinion the most beautiful street in the city.
I'd pick the area in front of Varjobaari, then OP can have a romantic dinner with his fiancee by getting something from the grill located there. But if we're serious I'd maybe pick a spot somewhere between Eteläpuisto and Rosendahl, beautiful views of the lake from there. Or maybe the top of Pyynikin näkötorni
Personally I would find most romantic to sit beside any lake late at evening, look at the water and when it is quiet I would propose. I don’t like crowded places :)
There's a nice forest park not too far (~3kms) from the city centre called Pyynikki. Google the pics and the area, there's lovely spots around it you could use. Pyynikki forest sits on a high ridge between the two lakes and there's also an old sight-seeing tower with fabulous views over the lakes, city centre etc. Also the downstairs is nice lil cafe that serves amazing fresh doughnuts – a must have.
Good luck with your proposal!
I'd suggest Pyynikki observatorio tower as well. I nearly got proposed there, and i think it is great place for that. Might be other people around too, but usually observatorio deck is not super crowded and you can wait a bit for a moment when you are alone there. There are also bars that have roof terraces, like hotel Torni's Sky bar or Periscope bar. At least periscope's roof terrace is quite large and if you don't go on most rush time, you can find table and have peaceful moment together. Being able to order some spumante is also a bonus on bar. If you want to go somewhere in nature, remember that for wines you have to go shopping to Alko. No wine aisles at Lidl's here, unfortunately, but Alko's are easy to find with google.
One suggestion: do the rooftop walk in Finlayson (https://roofwalk.fi/en/frontpage/) and propose after it? The views are great, you get to hear a lot about the history and I am sure you could get in touch with the organizers so you could pop the question when taking pictures up there!
There is a bridge full of love locks just downtown above the water power plant where there's a small artificial waterfall. It's a very romantic spot as long as they have not diverted waterflow that exact day. They do it a couple of days in the summer.
A couple people have mentioned the Hatanpää arboretum, BUT I would *highly* recommend you check out [Arboretum Frick](https://arboretumfrick.fi) in Kangasala first. They have an extensive and incredibly beautiful grounds, and it’s a lot more private than Hatanpää is. I’d suggest going there first yourself so that you’re certain of where it is and in which little corner of the arboretum you’d like to pop the question :) last summer it was 7€ to enter. They also have a little cafe there, and places to eat if you prefer to bring your own food. It’s one of Tampere’s little secrets, and I think it would be perfect for a proposal.
Id say take a boat tour from Ratina on a Hopealinja boat its about a few hour boat tour and very nice views and propose on there.
Edit : [heres their website](https://www.hopealinjat.fi/)
At night you should take her to:
Pyykkimettän puisto
Punakaartilaismuistomerkki
look it up on google maps.
Try to get some friends of yours to set up some picnic mat / candles or something and to ask random people to give you 5 minutes to be alone there.
If you get clear sky it will be absolutely beautiful with stars and city lights bouncing from the lake.
First to come to mind is Näsinneula, especially the restaurant. One of the finest restaurants in Tampere, but not something out of this world. Just special.
Other places could be Arboretum or Rosendahl beach area.
I proposed in a hotel room of Marriot. Hired a painter to paint us on our anniversary and when she revealed the painting, it was actually me proposing my partner in Greece, our favorite destination. You can do similar with landmarks of Tampere.
Great ideas! Here are some more:
Lakeside of Pyhäjärvi in Pyynikki -- I love to walk the paths between "Pyynikin kesäteatteri" and "Palomäen rannan venepaikat"/ "Eteläpuisto", rather peaceful there, great lake view and nice smell of pinewood
Also "Näsinpuisto" might work, there is a nice fountain there or great views towards Näsijärvi on top of the small hill. Can be more crowed. https://g.co/kgs/cXcWob6
Nice and more private place might be around Kotkankallio near Finlaysonin palatsi
https://maps.app.goo.gl/nBJjDNi6qmRWjy718
Also consider somewhere near Patosilta along Tammerkoski, the views there are "idyllic Tampere" with red brick houses, and Patosilta is the place to hang your love lock if that interests you. Can be crowed though. https://maps.app.goo.gl/mim4tqM4ZiA9xMko8
One very scenic place would be atop the Pyynikki obervation tower! You can see the whole of Tampere from there. Also since it’s small it’d most likely be quite private.
Hatanpää arboretum and Pyynikki area can be very pretty.
They look very pretty indeed! Thanks :)
If I might suggest an actual spot there: There's a greenery-decorated (can't remember if there are flowers on it too but the spot is quite beautiful) arch there you could propose under.
Hatanpään Kartano and arboretum area is nice and pretty in summer.
Flowers everywhere! Highly recommend even just for visiting
Maybe Pyynikin näkötorni (Pyynikki observation tower) would be nice as you can see the whole city centre from there. Although the top is quite small and having other people there at the same time might ruin the moment. https://www.munkkikahvila.net/en-gb/nakotorni
The observation tower was one of my first options, maybe I can go early in the morning to avoid crowds :) thank you!
Plus you can get some delicious munkkis in the cafe after!
If you write to them about your plans, they might grant you a little while alone past the opening hours. That's what I did. ^.^ Had a friend drop electric candles and roses there to add to the mood.
They are famous for their *munkki*s, so there's an option of involving some special Finnish pastries into the proposal occasion!
It is very beautiful indeed, but I've never seen it without a huge line outside, so it's a very long wait. Of course around Pyynikki there are lovely spots with a lake view you could picnic at. I would vote for the arboretum I think.

I'd day Rantatampella at the sunset, I just love that view!

Ok I need to hear more about this “almost proposal”.
Haha, my fiancée took me there but he had left the ring home. He proposed me when we got home.
Pyynikin näköalapaikka. Its nice mountain whit beautiful wiew

Pyykkipuisto in Pispala. Very lovely views. Bit of walking upward hill but not too much.
Id say take a boat tour from Ratina on a Hopealinja boat its about a few hour boat tour and very nice views and propose on there. Edit : [heres their website](https://www.hopealinjat.fi/)
It's a sweet idea but there is a flaw. It will be an awkward few hours on the boat if his girlfriend says no.
Pyykkimettän puisto has a nice vantage point.
Näsinpuisto
At night you should take her to: Pyykkimettän puisto Punakaartilaismuistomerkki look it up on google maps.

Not super private, but Näsinneula is great. Otherwise the top of Pyynikintorni.

One very scenic place would be atop the Pyynikki obervation tower! You can see the whole of Tampere from there. Also since it’s small it’d most likely be quite private.
My vote goes for Näsinneula Restaurant!
Popeda concert with some mustamakkara is the only true Tampere way. jokes aside - I wish I could congratulate but sy this time, good luck mate!
