8 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Visit Rovaniemi Church and Church of Sodankyla for their historical value. Arktikum and Tornio Church are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Venture out of the city with trips to Joutsijarven Bunkkerit (in Kemijarvi), Tornio Golf (in Tornio) and Kemi Church (in Kemi). Spend the 6th (Tue) exploring nature at Pyha-Luosto National Park. There's lots more to do: stroll the grounds of German Soldier s Cemetery, find something for the whole family at Santa Claus Village, see exotic creatures in open habitats at a safari tour, and pause for some serene contemplation at Rovaniemen ortodoksinen kirkko.
