Welcome to Oulu, the perfect starting point for your road trip in Finland! Pick up your rental car and let the adventure begin. You will spend 2 nights discovering what to see in Oulu before embarking on the next leg of your journey.

Oulu is a beautiful city with plenty to discover.

As dinnertime approaches, it's time to head out for a bite to eat. If you are looking to dine at a popular restaurant in Oulu, it's often a good idea to reserve a table in advance.

Enjoy a lovely meal at Frans & Camille Bistro, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, Koivurannan kahvila is another top choice with a popular menu. You could also check for a table at Sauraha. As an establishment that consistently gains high praises from customers, it’s an ideal choice in Oulu tonight.

After your meal, keep the night alive at a bar like Pub Graali, known for its lively atmosphere. Leskinen is another top recommendation that provides the perfect setting with well-crafted drinks and a welcoming ambiance.
