Today, Tammerkoski is a scenic highlight, showcasing a mixture of preserved industrial architecture and modern development, symbolizing Tampere's transformation from an industrial hub to a vibrant city. It remains an important cultural and historical site, attracting visitors and serving as a reminder of the area's industrial heritage.
