9 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Step out of the city life by going to Photography Tours and Korouoma Canyon. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Pyhatunturi and Feelapland. Change things up with these side-trips from Rovaniemi: Pyha-Luosto National Park (in Pyhatunturi), Kemi (Kemin Jalokivigalleria (Kemi Gemstone Gallery) & Kemi Church) and Sodankyla (Luosto & Church of Sodankyla). On the 2nd (Sat), spend an exhilarating day on the slopes at Ski Resort Ritavalkea. There's much more to do: Head underground at Syvasenvaara Fell, look for gifts at LAURI, examine the collection at Santa's House of Snowmobiles, and browse the collection at Rovaniemi City Library.
