Oulun kauppatori
Getting around: On Oulu's waterfront, walkable from anywhere in the compact center.
Hours: Daily roughly 7:00-18:00 in summer, reduced in winter.
Oulun kauppatori is the city's central riverside market square, with stalls, cafes and the historic Toripolliisi statue — smaller and less overtly touristy than Helsinki's equivalent, reflecting Oulu's more modest scale.
A natural stop for coffee or a quick lunch, connecting easily to the harbor and Hupisaaret park.
