Tampere ( Tammerfors in Swedish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland-Swedish)) is a city in southern Finland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland) located between two lakes, Näsijärvi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%A4sij%C3%A4rvi) and Pyhäjärvi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Pyh%C3%A4j%C3%A4rvi). Since the two lakes differ in level by 18 metres, the Tammerkoski (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammerkoski) rapids linking them have been an important power source throughout history, most recently for generating electricity. Railway tracks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_tracks) from many parts of the nation meet at Tampere railway station (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampere_railway_station), making it an important junction on the VR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR_Group) system.
Tampere, with about 200,000 inhabitants in the city itself, and more than 300,000 including the neighbouring municipalities, is the second most important urban centre in Finland after the Helsinki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki) region and the biggest inland city in the Nordic countries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries).
In terms of population, Tampere is the third largest city in Finland, and the largest city outside the Greater Helsinki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Helsinki) area.
