Oulu Market Hall
Oulun kauppahalli
A red-brick market hall completed in 1901, where you can buy salmon, reindeer meat and northern Finnish breads and snacks.
The market hall was built in 1901. Its red-brick facade is decorated in Art Nouveau style. Inside, a dozen or so fish, meat and bakery stalls and small restaurants sell smoked salmon, whitefish, dried reindeer meat and rieska, the flatbread of northern Finland. You can also sit down for a bowl of creamy salmon soup. It is usually closed on Sundays, and opening hours vary by vendor. It sits beside Market Square, so combine a visit with the square and the red wooden warehouses.
Opening hours
Mon–Sat approx. 08:00–17:00 (varies by stall); most stalls closed Sun
