8 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Do some cultural sightseeing at Arktikum and Rovaniemi Church. Bring the kids along to Safaris and Santa Claus Village. Venture out of the city with trips to Luosto (Amethyst Mine Lapland & Kopara Reindeer Park), Pyha-Luosto National Park (in Pyhatunturi) and Sampo Icebreaker (in Kemi). There's much more to do: find something for the whole family at SantaPark - the Home Cavern of Santa Claus, explore the different monuments and memorials at German Soldier s Cemetery, hit the slopes at Ounasvaaran Hiihtokeskus Oy, and revel in the low prices at Marttiini Store Old Factory.
