Sometimes you just need some time for yourself. Me-time is when you make your own wellbeing top priority. How about a trip with the good old me myself and I? Would you spend it letting your hair down and getting your heartbeat up, or seek for peace and quiet – or a little bit of both? Find it all in Oulu!
Take some Me-time in Oulu!

Warm it up
A memorable moment can be many things. For some, it’s being pampered in a sauna, for others, something that gets your heartbeat up. Some of us like teaming up and getting out of escape rooms, some enjoy day trips and tours. Whatever suits you best – listen to your heart.

Let loose!
Me-time means forgetting the everyday. In Oulu, this is easy: the locals are pretty laid back and ready to have some fun. So get on the dancefloor or book a seat at an event!
Try the nightlife in Oulu
Me, myself and I
For some real Me-time spend some time in nature, in the peace and quiet. Hiking in the autumn forest is magical with proper gear, enough snacks in your backpack and in the best company: yourself.
Tips for an autumn hike
Would you like a doggy bag with that?
The best thing about eating alone is not having to share with anyone. The best thing about eating with others is sharing the experience. Whatever suits you – this is your Me-time! Take your leftovers with you in a doggy bag to enjoy later.
Find something to eat
Find yourself in a fitting room
Maybe your Me-time in Oulu is a chance to renew your style? Imagine yourself in a teen movie style montage and try on anything and everything! Find the new you in the shops of Oulu.
