There is also a lift at the other end of the main lobby, which takes you to other floors. The Sopraano room, located on the second floor, is accessible by elevator from the lobby of the room. In the elevators, there is braille on the floor indicators to make the use of the elevators as easy and smooth as possible for our visually impaired visitors.
  • Tampere Hall has disabled toilets on the first floor, on the ground floor (accessible by a lift) and in the Duetto foyer on floor 2B. Additionally, there are contrasting colors on the door frames of the restroom facilities’ entrances, aiding in their detection amidst light-colored walls.

Please note that Tampere Hall’s multi-storey car park (P-Tampere-talo) has several flights of stairs. Only the first floor has disabled access.
