7 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Step off the beaten path and head to German Soldier s Cemetery and Syvasenvaara Fell. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Church of Sodankyla and Rovaniemi Church. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Rovaniemi: Pyha-Luosto National Park (in Pyhatunturi), Amethyst Mine Lapland (in Luosto) and Kemi (Sampo Icebreaker & Kemi Church). Pack the 14th (Sat) with family-friendly diversions at Duudsonit Activity Park - TornioHaparanda. There's much more to do: stop by LAURI Handicraft Shop & Atelier, see the interesting displays at Santa's House of Snowmobiles, see the top attractions with Feelapland, and let the kids burn off some steam at Angry Birds Park.
