Nokia

Nokia stands on the banks of Nokianvirta River, surrounded by lakes and forests in the western part of Pirkanmaa region.

The municipality gained its independence in 1922 when it separated from the neighboring Pirkkala municipality to establish its own administrative center.

The town maintains strong connections to industrial heritage through museums and exhibitions that showcase the evolution from rubber production to telecommunications.

The municipality connects to Tampere through regular bus services and the national railway network, offering convenient transportation options for residents and visitors.

Former factory buildings from Nokia Corporation's early days now serve as innovation centers for technology startups and educational institutions.
