Rovaniemi, Finland Destination Guide

When one pictures a winter wonderland full of adventures, there is a chance you’re picturing Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland.

Back in late February/early March of this year, I had the pleasure of spending about a week in Rovaniemi. Being at the Arctic Circle in the winter may sound crazy, but it turned out to be a lovely winter wonderland!

Sure, being a warmer winter for Finland meant that the trees weren’t absolutely weighed down and covered in snow, but there was still plenty of snow and winter activities to be done!

We learned to dogsled, met Santa (yes, Santa lives here!), chased the Northern Lights, went snowshoeing, and so much more.

Finnish Lapland has a LOT to offer, so let’s talk about all the things to do in Rovaniemi, where to stay, when to visit, where to eat/drink, and more!
