Recommended Guides and Books

As your travel agent, I highly recommend preparing for your trip by reading the following guides and books:

"Lonely Planet Finland" - This comprehensive travel guide will provide you with detailed information about Finland, including Rovaniemi.
"Rick Steves Snapshot Northern Europe" - This book offers useful tips and insights specifically for Northern Europe, including Finland.
"The Rough Guide to Finland" - Another great guide that covers all aspects of traveling in Finland, with a special focus on Lapland.
"Santa Claus: A Biography" by Gerry Bowler - Since Rovaniemi is known as the official hometown of Santa Claus, this book will add a magical touch to your trip.
"The Call of the North" by Juhani Aho - A classic Finnish novel that will give you a sense of the culture and landscapes you will experience.

About the destination

Lying just south of the Arctic Circle, Rovaniemi is the Finnish capital of Lapland. It is located at the confluence of Lapland's mighty rivers Kemijoki and Ounasjoki. Beautiful colours all year round, relatively warm summers, real snowy winters, Santa Claus, many sport resorts, great hotels and services, for all this and more Rovaniemi is an obligatory northern stop. Moreover, it is a good place to explore the Lapland region and to observe the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. The Lumberjack Candle Bridge, Jätkänkynttilä, has become a symbol of Rovaniemi. The bridge has a high pylon with bright yellow light on top and a massive bronze lumberjack statue. The Arktikum museum is a one-stop cultural centre for all things Arctic, it is dedicated to exhibits relating to Lapland's geology, climate, plants, animal life and cultures. Aside from the exhibits, the Arktikum's highlight is definitely its long glass corridor with its views on the river behind the building. Outside Arktikum there's a garden of arctic plants. Rovaniemi is, of course, Santa Claus hometown. At Santa Claus Village you can meet Santa Claus, send friends and relatives greetings from the Arctic Circle at the Santa Claus Post Office and visit the Christmas Exhibition, which explains some of the Christmas traditions from around the world. Rovaniemi is the best place to make a Christmas wishlist and to experience awe-inspiring wilderness, traditional Sámi culture, and enjoy a range of different activities surrounded by a wonderful natural landscape.
