11 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Change things up with these side-trips from Rovaniemi: Kemi (Sampo Icebreaker, Kemi Church, & more), Amethyst Mine Lapland (in Luosto) and Ski Resort Ritavalkea (in Pello). And it doesn't end there: get in on the family fun at Santa Claus Village, engage your brain at Pilke Science Centre, make a trip to Lordi's Square, and look for gifts at Kauppakeskus Sampokeskus.

In December, plan for daily highs up to -6°C, and evening lows to -13°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 2nd (Wed) so you can travel back home.
