Rovaniemi
The authentic Lapland of the Northern Lights and Santa Claus
Rovaniemi is the capital of the Lapland region, located near the Arctic Circle, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations, especially during the Christmas season. During the winter months, the city lives to the rhythm of the Northern Lights, offering excursions with sleds, snowmobiles, or glass igloos. In the summer, the midnight sun provides 24 hours of daylight for hiking, kayaking, and exploring the Arctic nature. The Arktikum Museum offers knowledge about the Arctic environment and the Sami culture, while the Pilke Science Centre and the futuristic Rovaniemi Library reveal the identity of modern Finland. Visit the Korundi House of Culture, which hosts concerts, performances, and other events, as well as a contemporary art gallery.
