Tourism

Oulu is a year-round tourist city, with almost 60% of its visitors being leisure tourists. Oulu is also the centre of the North, with year-round air and rail connections and accommodation capacity benefiting the whole of Northern Finland.

Oulu’s urban strategy aims to reach one million tourist nights by 2027. In particular, the aim is to increase international tourism by strengthening content and investing in attraction projects and services in a responsible and knowledge-led way. The regenerating Nallikari, investments in the market area and the city centre, as well as the station area and the experience arena are the main targets.
