Arriving In Tampere

Tampere-Pirkkala Airport is situated just over 10 km away from the city center of Tampere and is comprised of two passenger terminals. The airport offers only a limited range of amenities and services with a café on site in addition to duty-free shopping, while you can also connect to the airport’s free Wi-Fi network to surf the web. If you would rather use public transport when you have arrived there are bus services available, although you may prefer to hop in a taxi to reach your destination directly.

Tampere-Pirkkala Airport primarily handles flights from regional destinations, many of which are on a seasonal basis. If you are looking to travel from the UAE to Tampere you will have to make a stopover as there are no direct flights available.
