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 the city life by going to Safaris and Auttikongas. Do some cultural sightseeing at Arktikum and Christmas House Santa. When in Rovaniemi, make a side trip to see Amethyst Mine Lapland in Luosto, approximately Luosto away. There's still lots to do: get in on the family fun at SantaPark - the Home Cavern of Santa Claus, have some family-friendly fun at Snowman World Igloo Hotel, get curious at Pilke Science Centre, and don't miss a visit to Santa Claus Village.
