6 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

For shopping fun, head to LAURI or Your Piece Of Finland. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Feelapland and Syvasenvaara Fell. Change things up with these side-trips from Rovaniemi: Church of Sodankyla (in Sodankyla), Amethyst Mine Lapland (in Luosto) and Kemi (Kemi Church & Kemin Jalokivigalleria (Kemi Gemstone Gallery)). There's much more to do: try your luck at Feel Vegas - Club Rovaniemi, buy something for everyone on your list at Arctic Circle Mall, take in the dramatic scenery at Auttikongas, and stop by Kauppakeskus Sampokeskus.
