5 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Napapiirin Porofarmi and Photography Tours. Attractions like Santa's House of Snowmobiles and Syvasenvaara Fell make great kid-friendly stops. Change things up with these side-trips from Rovaniemi: Luosto Adventures (in Luosto), Pyhatunturi (in Pelkosenniemi) and Korouoma Canyon (in Posio). There's still lots to do: admire the sheer force of Auttikongas, find something for the whole family at Moomin Snowcastle, hit the slopes at Ounasvaaran Hiihtokeskus Oy, and have fun at Angry Birds Park.
