Where to stay in Nuottasaari
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Hotels belong to the centre. Nuottasaari sits south of it, bounded by the Oulujoki delta on one side and by Limingantulli, Leveri and Hollihaka on the east, which puts a traveller within an easy run of the city without offering rooms of its own. Äimärautio adjoins it. The sensible base for anything in Oulu is the centre itself.

About Nuottasaari
What are the main landmarks in Nuottasaari?
No landmark is filed under Nuottasaari. The register gives the district neither a church nor a museum, which leaves its own boundaries as the features to name, and those are the Oulujoki delta to the northwest and the Bothnian Bay with Äimärautio to the south. Water on two sides.
Limingantulli and Hollihaka close the eastern edge.
What is the history of Nuottasaari?
Nuottasaari reaches the record without a founding year, a named district of Oulu whose past is written into the city rather than into any charter of its own, and whose outline is given by the Oulujoki delta and the shore of the Bothnian Bay. Leveri lies to the east. The dated history of this ground is Finland's and Oulu's, and the district takes its bearings from Limingantulli and Hollihaka on that side and from Äimärautio to the south.
