7 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Next up on the itinerary: get engrossed in the history at Arktikum, find something for the whole family at SantaPark - the Home Cavern of Santa Claus, see Santa Claus Office, and engage your brain at Pilke Science Centre.
