4 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Step out of Rovaniemi with an excursion to Ranua Zoo in Ranua--about 1 hour away. There's lots more to do: find something for the whole family at SantaPark - the Home Cavern of Santa Claus, have fun at Santa Claus Office, stop by LAURI Handicraft Shop & Atelier, and pause for some serene contemplation at Rovaniemi Church.
