9 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Change things up with these side-trips from Rovaniemi: Luosto (Kopara Reindeer Park & Amethyst Mine Lapland), Pyha-Luosto National Park (in Pyhatunturi) and Korouoma Canyon (in Posio). There's still lots to do: look for all kinds of wild species at Wildlife Areas, pause for some serene contemplation at Rovaniemi Church, don't miss a visit to Santa Claus Village, and see Santa Claus Office.
