Rovaniemi is a captivating destination in northern Finland, located right on the edge of the Arctic Circle and best known as the official hometown of Santa Claus. Surrounded by vast forests, frozen rivers, and pristine wilderness, the town offers a true taste of Lapland’s magical atmosphere. In winter, Rovaniemi transforms into a snow-covered wonderland, where visitors can experience husky and reindeer safaris, snowmobiling adventures, and the unforgettable sight of the Northern Lights dancing across the Arctic sky.

Beyond its winter magic, Rovaniemi also charms visitors year-round with its unique blend of Sámi culture, Arctic history, and modern Finnish design.
