12 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Take a break from the city and head to Safaris and Kopara Reindeer Park. Attractions like Arktikum and Santa Claus Office make great kid-friendly stops. Venture out of the city with trips to Museum - Gallery Alariesto (in Sodankyla), Pyha-Luosto National Park (in Pyhatunturi) and Pyhatunturi (in Pelkosenniemi). Pack the 10th (Mon) with family-friendly diversions at Duudsonit Activity Park - TornioHaparanda. There's much more to do: surround yourself with nature on a nature and wildlife tour, examine the collection at Christmas House Santa, take in the dramatic natural features at Korouoma Canyon, and get your game on at Snowman World Igloo Hotel.
