Timeline
19:54
Grab a coffee or salad at Makia. It is a popular hangout for students and a perfect spot to wait out the late afternoon chill before the sun dips.
20:34
Walk to the Oulu Water park. It sits right next to the castle ruins and cafe, offering a quiet riverside view as the golden light fades.
20:54
Stay at the water park edge to watch the sun set toward the WNW. The low angle of the light reflects off the river delta.
21:24
Head to Ravintola Toripolliisi for dinner. This gastropub is located in the corner of the marketplace, keeping you central as night falls.
22:24
End the night with a drink at Oluthuone Leskinen. It has the best selection of beers in the city, but expect it to be crowded on Friday and Saturday nights.
Local tip
Oluthuone Leskinen gets very crowded on weekends. If you are visiting on a Friday or Saturday, consider arriving earlier or choosing 1bar for a slightly more relaxed cocktail atmosphere.
