Suuri olutvalikoima, viihtyisä pubi, ystävällinen henkilökunta. Ainoa puute, että saksalaisia lagereita harvoin tynnyreissä. Big selection of beers, cosy pub, friendly staff. The only complaitn: german lager beer is a rare visitor.

A windy beach, but the water was surprisingly warm. Lots of people on a sunny day. Loads of ice cream kiosks. An interesting lighthouse. A must when you visit Oulu in summer.

Oulu Cathedral

Reviewed By MikaelF413 - Vantaa, Finland

The old church from 1777 was destroyed in the big Oulu fire in 1822. The current stone cathedral was completed in 1832 over the ruins of the old church. It was made according to the neoclassical designs of the famous architect Carl Ludvig Engel who also designed the Helsinki Cathedral. The interior is very beautiful.

Beautiful part of Oulu, market square with policeman next to beautiful indoor market. We were there with a bunch of colleagues and very much enjoyed the place, had a good coffee nearby and then moved for a dinner. If you end up in Oulu then that is the part of the city to be visited for sure !
