City of Islands

Come along to explore the secrets of the islands in the river delta of Oulu! We walk through several islands, the most important being Linnansaari, Raatinsaari and Pikisaari.

From Linnansaari observatory the students of Oulu Maritime School used to view the stary sky. How was life in the Oulu castle? Do you dare to peek into the chilly basement of the castle?

Raatinsaari includes stories about salmon fishing and the tricky years when Finland was trying to gain independence. A lot of sport events have also taken place there.

Pikisaari echoes the past, but also presents artists’ workshops and environmental art.
