5 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Museum-lovers will get to explore Arktikum and Christmas House Santa. Do some cultural sightseeing at Rovaniemi Church and Pilke Science Centre. Step out of Rovaniemi with an excursion to Pyha-Luosto National Park in Pyhatunturi--about 1h 35 min away. There's still lots to do: get in on the family fun at Santa Claus Village, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Rovaniemen ortodoksinen kirkko, have fun at Santa Claus Office, and don't miss a visit to Lordi's Square.
