Tietomaa is a science center...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Tietomaa is a science center for the whole family. It's a nice place to visit as you can learn a few new things while you get to play around. They have a standard exhibition about science and technology in general. On top of that they have a 'Let's play' exhibition which is about toys, games and plays. This includes for example a roller coaster simulator. The newest exhibition is called 'me and you'. It teaches us about our bodies.
    It's a good idea to wear casual clothes that let you participate. Especially in the sports section where you'll definitely crack a sweat.
    Tietomaa also has an IMAX super screen where they show interesting and educating movies. The current one is about the Niagara falls.

  • Tip Rating:
  • The best thing is to meet people because they are very nice and very welcoming.

    To do a sauna when the temperature is extremly cold. It's really fun and it's an experiment that I will never forget.

    See the sunset in summer....
  • Tip Rating:
  • See the sunset in summer. Where I come from, sunsets never last longer than a few minutes. But what I saw in Oulu was a completely different thing. The sun started setting as I arrived, and was still continuing the same process after I wandered around looking for a hostel for what felt like hours. I had to take a picture of it at some point although of course, it could never come quite close to the real thing.

    A good start to discover Oulu is (beside VT ;) ) to pay a visit to the Tourist Office. They can provide you beside the sights in Oulu with a city map and a bus line map. This helps to find your way through town. But don't worry, you can't get lost here in downtown...

    wooden houses
    Those nice wooden houses are just by the market square in the centre of Oulu. They are built in old style where you can see such house also in other harbour towns in Finland.
