8 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Take a break from the city and head to Ranua Zoo and Ski Resort Ritavalkea. Get some cultural insight at Arktikum and Christmas House Santa. Venture out of the city with trips to Tatuka Reindeerfarm (in Ylitornio) and Pyha-Luosto National Park (in Pyhatunturi). There's still lots to do: find something for the whole family at SantaPark - the Home Cavern of Santa Claus, tour the pleasant surroundings at Napapiirin Porofarmi, pause for some serene contemplation at Rovaniemi Church, and get curious at Pilke Science Centre.
