Stay in Rovaniemi

Rovaniemi offers a different rhythm from the fell villages. Spend part of the day exploring the city, then make time for a walk among the trees. You can build a holiday around culture, the outdoors or simply being together. Keep the plan flexible and choose an outing that suits the weather and everyone in your group.

Snowy days invite you outdoors, while the city gives you plenty of reasons to come inside and warm up. Explore the winter activities around Ounasvaara or plan a visit to Santa Claus Village at the Arctic Circle. Conditions and opening times vary, so check the organiser’s information before setting out. Choose clothing for the conditions and leave time for a warm drink afterwards.

In the warmer months, slow the pace with forest walks and time by the river. The Arctic Garden beside Arktikum is a place to explore northern plants, while Ounasvaara offers another way to get outdoors close to the city. In autumn, plan your days around the changing light and colours. Bring a layer for cooler evenings and enjoy the freedom to linger.

Make space for an indoor day as well as an outdoor adventure. Arktikum brings together a science centre and museum, offering a way to learn about the Arctic and Lapland. Pair a visit with a stroll through the nearby Arctic Garden when conditions allow. Check the venue’s current opening hours and exhibitions when planning your day rather than trying to fit everything into one visit.

Choose your accommodation around the holiday you want to have. Check the property’s location, sleeping arrangements and listed amenities before booking, especially if you are travelling with children or as a larger group. The cabin page is the place to confirm what is included. A little planning leaves more time for shared meals, relaxed mornings and the outings you have been looking forward to.

Before travelling, check the route to your accommodation and the arrival instructions attached to your booking. Decide how you will get between the cabin and your planned activities; accommodation locations and transport needs can differ. Leave room in the first evening for getting settled and unpacking.
