Tampere - Pirkkala airport

For those who will arrive at Tampere-Pirkkala Airport:

 Ryanair flights arrive at Terminal 2, all the other ones at Terminal 1, which is located about 200m from Terminal 2.

Ryanair has organized bus transport for its passangers to Tampere City Centre and Railway Station with Tokeen Linja after the flight has arrived. (I am not quite sure if it drives via the main bus station or past it, but one can always ask). The bus transport costs 6 euros and it has to be paid in cash

For those who arrive at Terminal 1: you can take the local bus from the bus stop in front of the Terminal 1 (go to the right when you come out from the Terminal 1). Take the bus to the main bus station (linja-autoasema) in Tampere and there you can take the bus further to Orivesi.
