8 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

You'll visit kid-friendly attractions like SantaPark - the Home Cavern of Santa Claus and Snowman World Igloo Hotel. Take a break from the city and head to Safaris and Kotielainpuisto Arkadia. Get out of town with these interesting Rovaniemi side-trips: Duudsonit Activity Park - TornioHaparanda (in Tornio), Luosto (Kopara Reindeer Park & Amethyst Mine Lapland) and Pyha-Luosto National Park (in Pyhatunturi). There's still lots to do: make a trip to Santa Claus Village, capture your vacation like a pro with an inspiring photography tour, see the interesting displays at Christmas House Santa, and explore the fascinating underground world of Syvasenvaara Fell.
