10 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

An urban center set amongst the great Arctic wilderness, Rovaniemi serves as the capital of Lapland province.

Museum-lovers will appreciate Santa's House of Snowmobiles and Korundi House of Culture. Your inner history buff will appreciate German Soldier s Cemetery and Church of Sodankyla. Change things up with these side-trips from Rovaniemi: Maupertuis Memorial (in Pello), Pyha-Luosto National Park (in Pyhatunturi) and Luosto (Kopara Reindeer Park & Isokuru). There's much more to do: tee off at Tornio Golf, engage your brain at Pilke Science Centre, take an in-depth tour of Salla Museum of War & Reconstruction, and take in the dramatic natural features at Korouoma Canyon.
