Oulu is a beautiful city in northern Finland, in the Northern Ostrobothnia region of the country. The city is surrounded by Lapland, Kainuu, Northern Savonia, and Central Ostrobothnia region. There are some famous events held in the city each year such as Jalometalli Metal Music Festival, Oulu Music Festival, Children's Film Festival, and much more. Considering the wide range of activities and attractions here it's best you hire a car from Oulu Airport to make the most of your time in the region and explore wider Finland should you get the opportunity.
Pikisaari Island is a great place to visit because it is kind of like a little community within itself, but full of creative types like artists and musicians. There is also the Seaman's Home Museum on the island, which is located in one of the oldest wooden buildings in the country. One of the finest markets in all Finland exists in Oulu called Kauppatori so we highly recommend you visit this for a truly unique experience, and it's location at the waterfront makes it even more appealing. You must experience the beautiful outdoors here and we recommend you visit Rokua National Park. You can go hiking along the walking trails or even bike riding. If you want to get the most value out of your trip then we advise hiring a car from Oulu Airport.
