Rovaniemi

Among the cities of Mainland Finland, Rovaniemi stands out for its position at the meeting of the Kemijoki and Ounasjoki rivers, close to the Arctic Circle. It is the capital of Finnish Lapland and a practical base for experiencing the north through every season, from long summer daylight to winter snow. Rebuilt after the Lapland War, the city’s post-war plan was shaped by the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. The Arktikum museum and science centre examines Arctic life, while Santa Claus Village marks the Arctic Circle north of the centre.
