Oulu – the beauty of northern Finland

If Oulu were a young girl, she would be described both as happy and lively and as serene and peaceful. Let us not forget her lovely appearance, either, famous far and wide around the world.

Is this enough to tempt you to visit Oulu? Let us tell you more. This city in northern Finland was once an important trading town, and you can still feel the commercial spirit of old – and not just because you will find plenty of ways to spend your money when walking along Rotuaari, the street that cuts through the city center. By the sea, perhaps when strolling on the famous Nallikari beach, you can picture the old merchant ships which arrived in Oulu in great numbers as early as the 17th century.

First time visitors find Oulu's tourist office a great place to seek help and guidance. You can board a gently rocking ship at Kauppatori (Market Square) for unique perspective of the city. For a fun ride, hop onto the colorful Potnapekka train bus. During the ride, you have the opportunity to chat with other passengers and perhaps find friends for life.
