Non sto dicendo che non mi piace Oulu ecc., ma è una scelta sorprendente. Soprattutto quando anche le Isole Cook, Abu Dhabi, il Giappone, la Costa Rica ecc. facevano parte della lista!

Oulu isn’t even top 20 in Finland
Definitely surprising pick. Back when I lived in Oulu, I actively discouraged my family to visit the me there due to lack of things to do there, and sticking to the usual tourist destinations instead.
^(Living in Oulu was really nice on the other hand !)
I mean, it’s nice to go from nice spots to nice spots if you have a bicycle, but you need a) someone to know where they are and b) hoping that your hotel lends free bicycles (some do 😎) and c) not too bad weather.
Also, it’s not like other places don’t have *nice spots* anyway.
Strange pick.
Nothing wrong with Oulu, but listing it among the world’s “top 20 destinations” is a bit of a stretch (even as #20).
Couldn’t be related to it being the european capital of culture for 2026?
You couldn’t pay me to go to Abu Dhabi lol I need trees and water to be happy
Also Lufthansa flies straight to Oulu nowadays. Couldn’t hurt the airline to promote Oulu.
Oulu is like only 3 hours away from me and that’s still way too far for what it offers, imagine coming from all over the world 💔😭
As a part of a more comprehensive visit to Finland, sure.
I have been through/stopped briefly in Oulu many times but never exactly visited as a tourist.
Coincidentally I am actually visiting there at the weekend so let’s see if it is worth being in worlds top 20.
I’ve lived my whole life in Oulu. I love it here.
But in comparison to the other spots on the list? Nah.
I have been living in Oulu for 15 years and while I very much enjoy living here, I wouldn’t include it in top 20 destinations in Finland.
