Oulu

Located on the shores of the Bothnian Bay, Oulu is a dynamic northern Finnish city that combines high-tech innovation with authentic Arctic charm. As a cruise port, Oulu is visited primarily by smaller-sized ships and superyachts, making it an exclusive and intimate stop for travelers seeking something off the mainstream path.

Visitors can explore the lively Market Square, admire the architecture of Oulu Cathedral, and enjoy hands-on exhibits at the Tietomaa Science Center. Art lovers will appreciate the creative atmosphere of Pikisaari Island, while nature enthusiasts can wander through the serene Hupisaaret Islands Park or along the city’s beautiful coastal trails. With its blend of culture, cutting-edge tech, and pristine nature, Oulu offers a distinctly northern experience in a peaceful, crowd-free setting.
