Pirkanmaa, Administrative region in southern Finland.
Pirkanmaa covers 12,585 square kilometers of land area with 23 municipalities centered around Tampere, serving over 532,000 inhabitants in southern Finland.
The region inherited its name from medieval Pirkkala and transformed from an agricultural society to an industrial center after King Gustav III established Tampere in 1775.
Finnish language dominates the communication in Pirkanmaa, with 95 percent of residents using it as their primary language among the regional population.
Tampere-Pirkkala Airport connects the region directly to international destinations, while trains and buses link to Helsinki in two and half hours.
