The biggest beach in Oulu with an indoor spa and restaurants. Winter village Feb - Mar with winter activities for children, snow sculpting, chance to see reindeer and huskies. Check out the Winter Village website talvikyla.fi for more info. This is probably the most convenient place for spotting the northern lights without going too far from the city.

On a hot day it is super nice and chill to rent a SUP board and go paddling in the waters of Oulu. The prices are a bit on the high side, but as a once in a summer experience I recommend the 2 hour slot.

One of the most well-known bars and night-clubs in Oulu. Originally a rock music oriented place but nowadays you can find events there for any other types of music. There is also a kitchen serving burgers and finger food until late in the night. This is also the place where the Finnish rock stars go for a night out when in town.
