Keskustan suuralue, Main governmental district in Oulu, Finland
The district contains administrative buildings, commercial establishments, and residential zones across the northern section of downtown Oulu near the Bothnian Bay.
The area gained importance after 1886 when the neo-Renaissance city hall building, initially constructed as Hotel Seurahuone, became the center of municipal operations.
Multiple seasonal festivals and civic gatherings take place in the district's squares and parks throughout the year, connecting residents with Finnish traditions.
The district includes extensive pedestrian paths and bicycle routes, connecting with public transportation hubs that serve the entire Oulu metropolitan region.
During winter months, the district maintains heated walkways beneath the snow, allowing comfortable pedestrian access to shops and services.
