Humppila is located in the Kanta-Häme region and is nationally recognized primarily for its long-standing tradition in glass manufacturing. The municipality is home to the Humppila Glassworks, now part of the Iittala Group, which attracts visitors with live glassblowing demonstrations and extensive factory outlets. Another major highlight is its connection to the Jokioinen Museum Railway, which links Humppila with Jokioinen and provides nostalgic steam train rides through the idyllic Finnish countryside. The town's architecture features functional industrial structures and the neo-Gothic brick Humppila Church, built in the early 20th century. Situated at the crossroads of major transport routes between Turku, Tampere, and Helsinki, Humppila has developed into a significant regional commercial hub. The surrounding natural landscape consists of peaceful forests and river valleys, providing a well-suited escape for those seeking quiet recreation away from larger urban centers.
