Situated in the Arctic Circle, right at the confluence of the Kemijoki and Ounasjoki rivers, Rovaniemi is the unofficial capital of Finnish Lapland and the gateway to all the tourism treasures this winter wonderland has to offer. Enjoy the city’s eclectic collection of unusual museums and cultural attractions such as Lapland's Provincial Museum Arktikum, the Lapland Forestry Museum, the Pilke Science Centre, and the Korundi House of Culture (which also houses the fantastic Rovaniemi Museum of Art). Outdoor enthusiasts are equally well catered for with snowmobile safaris, reindeer and husky rides, Northern Light hunting in the Winter, and relaxing riverboat cruises under the midnight sun in Summer. No matter what time of year you visit, Santa Claus will always be always waiting to meet you at the famous Santa Claus Village and Santa park.
