Rovaniemi

The official hometown of Santa Claus

Rovaniemi sits right on the Arctic Circle and is the gateway to Finnish Lapland. It pairs the childhood magic of Santa Claus Village with serious Arctic adventure — husky kennels, reindeer farms, snowmobile trails and glass igloos under the aurora — all within thirty minutes of the airport.
