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.

It's the heart of the city, full of life, sea view, old market hall, the Theater and main library twinning next to it. I don't like what they are building in it.
