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 The Provincial Museum Of Tornio Valley and Church of Sodankyla. Museum-lovers will appreciate Santa's House of Snowmobiles and Pilke Science Centre. Venture out of the city with trips to Pyha-Luosto National Park (in Pyhatunturi), Tornio Church (in Tornio) and Kemi (Kemi Church & Sampo Icebreaker). There's lots more to do: get engrossed in the history at Rovaniemi Local History Museum, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Rovaniemi Church, take in the views from Lumberjack's Candle Bridge, and look for gifts at Your Piece Of Finland.
