Food and Leisure Oulu Market Square, or Kauppatori, is a vibrant hub in the city center of Oulu, perfect for food lovers and leisure seekers. The square offers a variety of food stalls and cafes where you can enjoy traditional Finnish delicacies. Fresh berries, smoked fish, reindeer meat, and local pastries like pulla (cinnamon rolls) are some of the highlights. The market’s atmosphere is particularly lively in the summer, with outdoor seating areas providing a great spot to relax and soak up the bustling market vibe. 🔴🔴Leisure Activities🔴🔴 In addition to its culinary offerings, the market square hosts numerous events and festivals, making it a focal point for cultural activities in Oulu. Live music, art exhibitions, and seasonal markets, such as the Christmas market with its festive decorations and local crafts, provide entertainment throughout the year. The iconic Toripolliisi statue adds a unique charm and is a popular spot for photos. Oulu Market Square is not just a place to shop; it’s a social and cultural experience, ideal for enjoying local flavors and engaging with the community. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or spending the afternoon people-watching, Kauppatori offers a delightful taste of Oulu's local life.

Oulun Kauppatori on viime vuosina onnistunut kehittämään toimintaansa muulloinkin kuin kesäkaudella. Mutta toki tori on edelleen oululaisten suosikkiolohuone etenkin kesäaikaan, jolloin siellä voi istuskella laiturilla tai ravintola-aitan terassilla, taikka nauttia jonkin ruokakojun antimista. Iso kesäkahvila on varmasti kesän suosikkipaikkoja. 💚💚💚 Kauppahalli olisi oiva ostospaikka varsinkin tuoreen kalan, juuston ym. ystävälle, mutta harmi kyllä torimme on osin rakennustyömaana. Rakentaminen häiritsee torielämää. 🙄 Torilla tosin tapahtuu siitäkin huolimatta. Olemme saaneet nauttia ulkomaan herkuista mm. Kansainvälisillä suurmarkkinoilla. Ja eivätköhän syysmarkkinatkin ole taas tulossa 😀👍

As said before, the market place and square is a nice place to buy some goodies and eat and enjoy. One downside is that one doesn't know in front when what is open.

"The Bobby at the Market Square" è così che viene denominata da alcuni la statua di bronzo che si trova nella piazza del mercato coperto di Oulu. La statua, che rappresenta il poliziotto della piazza, " Toripollisi" in finlandese, è alta 2,20 metri e sembra ricordare alcune opere di Botero. É diventata una vera e propria icona e tutti scattano delle foto accanto ad essa. É stata realizzata dallo scultore Kaarl Mikkonen e collocata nella piazza nel 1987 nell' area accanto allo storico edificio, in mattoni rossi risalente al 1901, che è stato recentemente ristrutturato. Sembra che il poliziotto, a cui la statua é stata dedicata, che aveva prestato servizio di pattugliamento in quella zona per quarantacinque anni dal 1934 al 1979 mantenga con la sua imponente presenza l' ordine e assicuri la sicurezza delle transazioni del mercato. Molti sostengono che Oulu é una cittadina molto tranquilla e quindi basta una statua per assicurare il rispetto della legge. Quando ho visitato quest' area il mercato era chiuso, non ho quindi potuto pranzare al suo interno o prendere un caffè e gustare alcune specialità di pane e i piatti a base di salmone o carne di renna, né acquistare alcuni prodotti tipici locali. Il mercato è aperto dalle ore 8: 00 alle 17:00, tutti i giorni ad eccezione della domenica. Il sabato chiude alle ore 16:00. L'area intorno alla piazza è animata e i bar e i ristoranti della zona sono molto frequentati soprattutto dai giovani. In estate intorno al mercato coperto si possono trovare tante bancarelle che vendono prodotti tipici, oggetti di artigianato finlandese...

Kesäisin torilla on myyjiä muutamasta aluepiiristä. Torin valmisruoka pisteet tuovat paksun rasvaisen tuoksun nopeasti sieraimiin, tarjolla on isoissa wokeissa paistettuja tuotteita. Vihannes hedelmä marja juures myynti on tarjolla, kylläkin kallista ja laatu ei erikoista. On kaffe paikkoja ja erittäin kalliita hinta tasoltaan. Kahviloissa on tarjolla muutakin purtavaa mutta omaan silmään valikoimat ja palvelupisteet ovat likaisia. Löytyy juottoloita joissa kalliit hinnat ja talojen paukku mikstuurat alkoholi pitoisuudeltaan teini juottolan tasoa. Iltaisin voi nähdä paikallista trupaduuri esiintymistä joka on hieno plussa. Nuoriso kokoontuu nakki ja piirakka rallille torin laiturille iltaisin, porukkaa on todella paljon ja sanoisin hyväksi illan aloituspaikaksi. Sitten on kirpputorit ja joitain erikoiskauppoja tupakasta kahviin ja tee:hän. Rihkaman myyntiä ja kopio bändi paitoja löytyy myös parista kojusta. Kaiken kaikkiaan sekava paikka ja sotkuinen. Kauppahalli on puhdas ja hyvin hoidettu. Siellä on kaikenlaista myyntiä lahjatavarasta elintarvike jakeluun. Keskellä toria on poliisi patsas joka on...
