    Whilst this is just a statue in a prominent position, near the Market Hall, it is a statue that has character and "attitude". It portrays a police officer and apparently is in recognition of police personnel who used to patrol the Market Place.

    This is a pleasant beach a short distance from the centre of Oulu. We actually travelled there on the City road Train owned by and operating to the Vauhtipuisto Children's Amusement Park, which is very near the beach. The beach has a number of entertainment facilities and refreshment kiosks. To reach the area involves travelling through a pleasant green wooded area, which acts as a pleasant backdrop to the beach.

    This Market Hall is relatively small, and has two aisles of traditional wooden stalls selling a wide range of regional products. It was pleasing to see that it was reasonably well patronised when we visited, but we were from a cruise ship visiting the port. It is centrally located in city. The building is quite impressive. Overall we would rate this point of interest as "Good" rather than "Very Good"

    It's a stunningly beautiful park in the inner city with creeks and bridges over them. There's a playground, an ice-cream truck and even a greenhouse.

    Hupisaaret Park is a beautiful outdoor recreation area. You find flowers, interesting trees, fountains, trails with beautiful pedestrian bridges, sitting places, cafeterias, campfire sites, statues, a playground, a summer theater, a fish ladder etc. there. Remember to visit Kiikkusaari Greenhouse, too. The area is free (no any admission fee) and it is open 24/7.

    This is definitely not ”a typical orthodox” cathedral like someone said before. It is and has always been a lutheral cathedral. The lutheran cathedrals are far less decorative than the orthodox cathedrals anyway. :)

    Nice but quite small collection of cars and motorcycles. On the other hand also price was under ten euros. There was huge truck which was unique and used in hydroelectric power-plant construction sites. There is nice cafe in same building which offers very good lunch also.

    We ended up in Oulu with no accomodation, through no fault of our own,
    We headed to the Tourist Centre where we were looked after very well by Rosa. She was very very kind and extremely helpful in trying to find us a bed.

    We saw only inside part due to winter. It's a very nice botanical garden - plenty of unusual and beautiful plants, many of them with flowers. Was a delight to watch it in winter because I was missing green plants and flowers.
    Everything is nicely arranged and well cared for.
