Navarre consists of 272 [[List of municipalities in Navarre|municipalities]] and has a total population of 601,874 (2006), of whom approximately one-third live in the capital, [[Pamplona]] (195,769 pop.), and one-half in the capital's metropolitan area (315,988 pop.). There are no other large municipalities in the region. The next largest are [[Tudela, Navarre|Tudela]] (32,802), [[Barañain]] (22,401), [[Burlada – Burlata|Burlada/Burlata]] (18,388), [[Estella-Lizarra]] (13,892), [[Zizur Mayor]] (13,197), [[Tafalla]] (11,040), [[Villava – Atarrabia|Villava/Atarrabia]] (10,295), and [[Ansoáin – Antsoain|Ansoáin/Antsoain]] (9,952).

Despite its relatively small size, Navarre features stark contrasts in geography, from the [[Pyrenees]] mountain range that dominates the territory to the plains of the Ebro river valley in the south. The highest point in Navarre is [[Mesa de los Tres Reyes]], with an elevation of {{convert|2,428|m|ft|abbr=off}}.

Other important mountains are [[Txamantxoia]], [[Kartxela]], the [[Larra-Belagua Massif]], [[Sierra de Alaiz]], [[Untzueko Harria]], [[Sierra de Leyre]], [[Sierra del Perdón]], [[Montejurra]], [[Fort San Cristóbal (Spain)|Ezkaba]], [[Monte Ori]], [[Sierra de Codés]], [[Urbasa]], [[Andia]], and the [[Aralar Range]].

In the north, climate is affected by the Atlantic Ocean leading an Oceanic west coast climate (Köppen: Cfb). Since the northernmost part of Navarre is less than {{convert|10|km|mi}} from the [[Bay of Biscay]], the northern fringes resemble [[San Sebastián#Climate|San Sebastián]]. At central Navarre the summer precipitations start to lower, leading to a Mediterranean climate (Köppen: Csa and Csb) At the southernmost part of Navarre the climate is cool semi-arid (Köppen: Bsk). This is also at a comparatively low elevation compared to most of the north, further pontentiating the hot summers in comparison to Pamplona and even more so the northern hilly and mountainous region.

The sole official weather station of Navarre is located in Pamplona in its north-western corner and has summer highs of {{convert|28|C|F}} and lows of {{convert|14|C|F}}, while winter highs are {{convert|9|C|F}} and lows {{convert|1|C|F}} with moderate precipitation year-round.
