6 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Church of Sodankyla and The Provincial Museum Of Tornio Valley. Escape the urban bustle at Ounasvaaran Hiihtokeskus Oy and Feelapland. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Rovaniemi: Sampo Icebreaker (in Kemi), Luosto (Amethyst Mine Lapland & Kopara Reindeer Park) and Pyha-Luosto National Park (in Pyhatunturi). There's still lots to do: examine the collection at Santa's House of Snowmobiles, snap pictures at Lumberjack's Candle Bridge, don't miss a visit to Lordi's Square, and look for gifts at Your Piece Of Finland.
