Discover the highlights of Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland. Enjoy a sleigh ride, explore the Arktikum Museum, visit Santa Claus, and cross the line into the Arctic Circle on this full-day tour.

Rovaniemi Full-Day City Tour

The tour begins with hotel pickup, followed by a visit to the foothills of Ounasvaara Fell, where there is an option to climb to the top. Next, experience a 500-metre trip on a sled pulled by huskies and a 400-metre reindeer sleigh ride, surrounded by winter landscapes. Afterward, enjoy a cup of coffee and biscuits.

Proceed to Santa Claus Village for a buffet lunch and a chance to meet Father Christmas. You can also send a letter to him and take a photo straddling the Arctic Circle.

Next, visit the Arktikum Museum, which focuses on the ice age, the Aurora Borealis, and the Sami people. The museum features a 564-foot-long (172 m) glass corridor and utilizes local natural materials in its architecture.

The day concludes with a return to your hotel in Rovaniemi.
