Me-traveling to Oulu to light a spark with a bow

Brown at its best
The best way to enjoy a brownie is to step up to the ready table. Pre-prepared, different-length pothole routes take you through some of Oulu's most beautiful places - you can choose from walking, cycling and canoeing.
Which will you choose?
Macaia from the belly up
Local food, exotic flavours, candlelight dinners, takeaway or sweet treats? How about all of the above? The quality of a relationship includes a good restaurant experience, and Oulu has plenty of those. The taste memories of the Me-trip will stay with you.
