Leipzig Says: After a long ride we stopped in Oulu and saw a huge park next to the parking lot. We went there and were quite surprised of its size. It seemed almost all inhabitants of the town were in the park walking, skating or cycling. Later at home I found out that this park belongs...
Jungle in Oulu - the glass house
gubbi1 Says: In the park on Hupisaari you can have a look at the small glass house in which many different tropical plants are growing. The glass house is open until 17:00 and located just beside the cafe Tuomenkukka.
gubbi1 Says: If you like flowers, in particular roses, then you should pass by the rose garden in the park complex on Hupisaari. Located close to the glass houses you can easily combine your visit with a relaxing stop at the cafe Tuomenkukka.
tiitta Says: There’s no place like Pikisaari these days. There’s always someone with an opposing decree or a view. Pikisaari, located only a short walk from Market Square outside of Oulu, used to be a busy industrial region. These days the island is home to a closely-knit artist...

gubbi1 Says: In many places around Finland you have the chance to use barbecue places somewhere in the woods or other nature areas. These places are for free and even fire wood is provided. Only your food you will have to bring with you. Sausage and steaks :)))
lonestar_philomath Says: This was an inexpensive, clean, and good restaurant. The picture is of my brother and I celebrating his arrival in Oulu (he also works at Nokia). I did not really care for the Finnish beer however a good substitute was the Apple Cidre. Local Apple Cidre! There are two or...
gubbi1 Says: It is the first time that I write a negative tip, but I am really disappointed about this place. After being there several times with people from work and lot of our colleagues coming to Oulu stay in the Hotel connected to the Amarillo, I got rejected yesterday because of my...
Pub Graali: Nice place for a beer
gubbi1 Says: Pub Graali is a pub with a cozy atmosphere. Inside wood dominates the interior. It is not a disco so no dancefloor, instead people enjoy to talk and have a good time. If there would not be my bad experience at Amarillo, I would say that there is no dress code in Oulu. Here...
gubbi1 Says: Another map showing Oulus bike lanes gives an even more impressive picture how well organized the bicycle network is. These are the lanes in the greater downtown are, but there are more lanes connecting the villages and cities around.
Kärkkäinen: Outdoor equipment - Cooker fuel
gubbi1 Says: Kärkäinen sells beside all different things (srews, home working tools) also some Outdoor equipment. Especially also fuel for liquid cookers. Ask for 'Marinol'.Opening hours:Mo - Fr 9-21Sa 9-18 Fuel for outdoor cooker.
gubbi1 Says: In the supermarket chain Prisma you can find also outdoor equipment.Prisma Limingantulli (south of Oulu)Nuottasaarentie 190400 OULULinnanmaa(north of Oulu)Kauppalinnankuja 1-390570 Oulu They have sleeping bags, knifes, cooker, dishes for outdoor, small choice of dry...
gubbi1 Says: Well, it is not really only local, but I have seen the most here in Oulu area, so I place it here. During winter, when the ocean is frozen, you will notice black dots in the distance. These will pretty sure be some people doing icefishing. With a huge handdrilling mashine...
panOULU - free townwide WLAN internet
gubbi1 Says: Oulu is one of the few cities in Europe having a townwide free WLAN network. You can log in and just start surfing for free. Even inside public buildings like the Oulun Energia Areena (the stadion of Oulus Icehockey team) or on the ferries to Hailuoto there are access...
gubbi1 Says: In some areas in and around Oulu you are not supposed to walk around as here birds are breading their eggs and will be disturbed by you. There are signs telling you which bird is breading there and where you should not walk around. Of course also the duration of this periode...
gubbi1 Says: Well, hopefully my last warning tip.When walking around in town, take care in winter. It is really slippery and you can easily fall. Streets are only cleaned from fresh snow, but always a little remains and this gets compressed over the time. So after a while the compressed...
gubbi1 Says: You really do not need to drive far to be in a great nature scenery. It is just 10 km from very downtown and you can experience a diversity rich area. Pilpasuon Luontopolku, a trail of 7 km (it is well prepared, but sometimes pretty wet) brings you deep into a swamp area....
Finnish Ice-Hockey Champion 2007 + 2008
gubbi1 Says: Like years before Oulu has been Finnish champion in 2007 with its team Oulun Kärpät. In a very close walking distance to inner downtown you can reach the stadion very easy. I think it is a must to watch a game if you have the chance (being there during the season).EDIT:...
gubbi1 Says: Well, people never stop learning in their life. Today I learned something special: There exists a sport called Frisbee-Golf. I was biking and saw some people throwing frisbees and then I realized that they were aiming at something. So I asked them if they play some sort of...
gubbi1 Says: 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...Oulu...
gubbi1 Says: If you want to get some news about Oulu and the region, you can have a look at '65 degrees north' an internet newspaper from Oulu:->65 degrees north, An internet newspaper from Oulu
