01 · OverviewTampere, in brief
Tampere is a city in Finland and functions as the regional capital of Pirkanmaa. Situated within the Finnish Lakeland, the municipality stands as Finland's third most populous municipality and the most populous inland city across the Nordic countries and Fennoscandia.
The landscape of the city is shaped by its geographic position wedged directly between two lakes, Lake Näsijärvi and Lake Pyhäjärvi. An 18 m (59 ft) difference in water level exists between these two water bodies, which are connected by the Tammerkoski rapids. Throughout history, the rapids have served as an important source of power, most recently utilized for generating electricity.
Climatic and regional characteristics are influenced by this inland water network and the surrounding topography of the historic province. Between 1775 and 1870, the Tammerkoski rapids formed the border between the former province of Häme and the province of Turku and Pori, with the original settlement situated on the western side of the rapids before the eastern bank was attached to the municipality in 1877.
