A hotel room at Hotel Cumulus Koskikatu in central Tampere, Pirkanmaa, Finland, photographed in the evening of the same day as the Helsinki Samba Carnaval 2015 was held in central Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland in the afternoon. By skillful travel planning, I managed to both see the samba carnaval and get to Tampere. This was the most expensive hotel room I had ever stayed in, surpassing even central London, England, UK. Perhaps this was because there were two major events going on in central Tampere at the same time and pretty much every hotel was fully booked.
