This sleek hotel occupies half a city block right in the middle of town. From the space-op-
era lights in its spacious foyer to the high-ceilinged rooms with clean Nordic decor and
flatscreen TV, it's a temple to efficiency, hygiene and modern design (art, individuality:
look elsewhere).
Eating
Local specialities can be found in and around the kauppatori.
Café Bisketti
CAFE
Sat, 10am-8pm Sun; )
This top double-sided spot transforms itself throughout the day. Think twice before getting
that pastry with your morning coffee; they're enormous and might not leave room for
lunch, with cheap deals on soup, salad, coffee and a pastry, and hot dishes for not much
extra. In the evenings, the terrace is a decent spot for a people-watching beer.
Oulun Kauppahalli
MARKET
8am-3pm Sat; )
On the square, the kauppahalli (covered market) has freshly filleted salmon glistening in
the market stalls and plenty of spots to snack on anything from cloudberries to sushi.
