Pikisaari
A small island across from Market Square, with old wooden houses and workshops, artist studios and a seaside restaurant.
Pikisaari is separated from Market Square by a narrow channel and can be reached by a footbridge in a few minutes. It was once home to shipbuilding, tar and rope-making workshops. Today it preserves a district of old wooden houses in soft colours, and it houses artist studios, a craft school, a summer café and a seaside restaurant. From the island's west shore you can see the open sea and the sunset. The quiet streets make this Oulu's most Nordic small-town corner, and it is free to wander at any time of day.
