A café close to Oulu city center
Olosauna’s café is located on the shores of Hartaanselkä, just a short distance from Oulu city center. The floating building by the water offers a setting that changes beautifully with the seasons.
In summer, the terrace opens up to views of the river and the surrounding urban nature. Autumn brings warm colors to the landscape, winter settles everything into a quiet blanket of snow, and spring returns light and life to the waterside.
Many visitors come to the café specifically for the scenery and the unhurried atmosphere.
The café as part of the Olosauna experience
The café is part of the broader Olosauna offering, which also includes a sauna, ice swimming, wellness services, and a variety of events.
A visit to the café pairs perfectly with:
- A sauna session
- Ice swimming
- A yoga class
- Events and cultural programming
- Catching up with friends or colleagues
The café is just as well suited to a solo visit as it is to spending time with others.
Come by whenever it suits you
You’re welcome to visit Olosauna’s café without booking a sauna session or making a reservation. If you’re planning a sauna evening, a corporate event, or another private gathering, you can also explore venue rental options.
