Holidays to Rovaniemi

The community of Rovaniemi is situated on the Arctic Circle, a circle of latitude that runs around the earth at 66°33′45.9″ north of the Equator. It is this location that blesses Rovaniemi with the periods of the polar night and the midnight sun.

The city is an ideal destination for those wishing to combine convenience and wilderness. Here you will find a good selection of shops, restaurants and bars; museums and cultural attractions, and, of course, Santa Claus Village and SantaPark. Regardless of your age and the time of year of your visit, you cannot help but feel the festive magic and excitement in the air.

Take a step outside of the city and you find yourself amongst an unspoiled landscape where nature dominates. It almost feels like a parallel world, one which offers a gateway to a pristine environment tended by the Sami and their reindeer. During the summer there are miles of marked hiking trails, flowing river valleys and calm lakes to explore. In the winter, this transforms into an unrivalled winter playground.
