OULU HIGHLIGHTS 

Welcome to a walk through Oulu, the European Capital of Culture in 2026. This tour takes you from the era of sailing ships, tar trade, and salmon fishing to the modern city known for its technology, well-being, education, and vibrant cultural life – including the Air Guitar World Championships.

A green belt of parks leads us towards the charming delta of the Oulu River. Along the way, you will discover what makes Oulu a bold city of contrasts – a city with a higher grade of living.

Starting point: the Toripolliisi statue.
