Lake Iides, the most well-known sight of the Iides district.

Iides is one of the main districts in the city center of Tampere in Pirkanmaa, Finland. The so-called planning area of Iides includes the statistical areas of Viinikka, Nekala, Vihioja, Jokipohja and Muotiala.[1]

The district is named after Tampere's most famous bird lake, Lake Iides (Iidesjärvi), located in the middle of the area.[2] Many of the arable land in the area is former land belonging to Hatanpää Manor.[3]
