About Rovaniemi

Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland, is a picturesque city located at the northern edge of the Arctic Circle. With a population of approximately 63,000 as of 2023, it serves as the gateway to the Arctic and is famously known as the "Official Hometown of Santa Claus."

Rovaniemi experiences a subarctic climate with long, cold winters and mild, brief summers. Winter temperatures often drop well below freezing, creating a snowy wonderland perfect for Arctic activities. The summer months, particularly June and July, bring the Midnight Sun, where daylight lasts nearly 24 hours, providing endless opportunities for exploration. The best time to visit depends on your interests: winter (December to March) is ideal for snow-based activities, while summer offers unique experiences under the Midnight Sun.

The city is easily accessible via Rovaniemi Airport, located just 8 kilometers from the city center. Transportation options include taxis, shuttle buses, and car rentals, making it convenient to reach your destination. Additionally, Rovaniemi is well-connected by train and bus to other major Finnish cities.

Rovaniemi offers a delightful culinary scene that highlights local Lapland ingredients. Reindeer meat, Arctic char, and cloudberries are staples of the regional cuisine, often served in cozy restaurants that reflect the city’s warm, welcoming atmosphere. For a uniquely Lappish treat, try “leipäjuusto,” a traditional squeaky cheese often paired with cloudberry jam.

For visitors, Rovaniemi boasts a mix of cultural, natural, and seasonal attractions. Santa Claus Village is a year-round destination where you can meet Santa, cross the Arctic Circle, and enjoy festive activities. Arktikum Museum provides fascinating insights into Arctic culture and natural history. The Ranua Wildlife Park, a short drive from Rovaniemi, is home to native Arctic animals such as polar bears and lynxes.

Winter adventurers can enjoy husky safaris, snowmobiling, and the chance to witness the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), often visible from late August to early April. For those visiting in summer, hiking trails and river cruises offer a serene way to experience Lapland's pristine wilderness.
