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: Tatuka Reindeerfarm (in Ylitornio) and Amethyst Mine Lapland (in Luosto). The adventure continues: don't miss a visit to Santa Claus Village, explore the different monuments and memorials at German Soldier s Cemetery, get in on the family fun at SantaPark - the Home Cavern of Santa Claus, and catch a live event at Lappi Areena.
