10 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Family-friendly places like Santa Claus Village and Arktikum will thrill your kids. Get out of town with these interesting Rovaniemi side-trips: Ranua Zoo (in Ranua), Ski Resort Ritavalkea (in Pello) and Pyha-Luosto National Park (in Pyhatunturi). There's lots more to do: get in on the family fun at SantaPark - the Home Cavern of Santa Claus, pause for some serene contemplation at Rovaniemi Church, see Santa Claus Office, and go deep underground at Amethyst Mine Lapland.
