Oulu 2026 – Culture, Nature, and the Calm Rhythm of the North

Oulu – where creativity flows hand in hand with nature.
Located on the northern coast of the Gulf of Bothnia, the city of Oulu has evolved from its historical roots as a global hub of tar export into a modern, vibrant center of technology, education, and culture. Life moves at a relaxed pace here — but there’s always something happening.

In 2026, Oulu will take center stage as a European Capital of Culture.
Expect world-class cultural experiences that celebrate local uniqueness, international collaboration, and the famously easy-going spirit of the north. The first programs of Oulu2026 have already been revealed — offering a diverse journey through art, storytelling, and community.

In summer 2025, Oulu will also host Finland’s Housing Fair.
The one-of-a-kind riverside delta of Hartaanselänranta will become a stage for sustainable living and modern architecture, where the Nordic quality of life shines through in every detail.

Nature is always close — even in the heart of the city.
Popular outdoor destinations like Koitelinkoski rapids, the Sanginjoki conservation area, and the peaceful Pilpasuo wetlands are just a short trip from the center. Try snowshoeing in winter, fatbiking in summer, or join a guided ice fishing safari — even alpaca treks are on offer!

A new jewel by the sea – Nallikari Aalto
Opened in 2024, Nallikari Aalto offers stylish seaside accommodation with sweeping views and premium amenities. Guests can enjoy Italian-style cuisine at Bistoria Patio, unwind in wellness treatments, and book outdoor adventures right next door at the Nallikari Safari Center. Some apartments even come with private hot tubs overlooking the ocean sunset.

A one-of-a-kind city of events
Oulu is home to quirky and unforgettable festivals — from the Air Guitar World Championships and light art installations to local food markets and immersive art shows. The vibe? Welcoming, creative, and delightfully offbeat.

The Northern Ostrobothnia Ring Road invites you to explore
Oulu is your gateway to the diverse landscapes of northern Finland. Follow the "Pohjola Ring Road" from the sea to the fells — discover charming fishing villages, national parks like Syöte and Rokua, and historic towns such as Raahe and Ii. Whether you're a nature lover, a culture seeker, or a family traveler, there’s something magical around every corner.
