Workation in Oulu: the essentials
People here cycle through the winter on a path network that is kept clear of snow, which tells you most of what you need to know about Oulu. The largest city in northern Finland, with about 217,000 people, lies where the Oulu River meets the Gulf of Bothnia, and it grew a strong technology sector around the university and Nokia's research labs. It held the title of European Capital of Culture in 2026 and also hosts the Air Guitar World Championships. Hailuoto island is a ferry ride away, the airport is about 15 km out, and trains run south to Helsinki. Winters are long and dark.
