6 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like German Soldier s Cemetery and Church of Sodankyla. Museum-lovers will get to explore Santa's House of Snowmobiles and Pilke Science Centre. Venture out of the city with trips to Tornio (Tornio Church & The Provincial Museum Of Tornio Valley), Pyha-Luosto National Park (in Pyhatunturi) and Kemi (Kemi Church & Sampo Icebreaker). There's much more to do: explore the fascinating underground world of Syvasenvaara Fell, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Rovaniemi Church, take an exotic tour of Feelapland, and browse the collection at Rovaniemi City Library.
