I hadn’t heard of Oulu until I was invited to attend the remarkable celebratory inauguration of its official designation as one of the two 2026 European Capitals of Culture. Oulu, along with 39 municipalities surrounding it, is Finland’s fifth-largest city, with some 217,000 residents. This enchanting, quirky, beyond beautiful city and surrounding area in northern Finland is now one of my go-tos.
