Rovaniemi

Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland spreads out along both sides of the Arctic Circle along the banks of two of the largest rivers in Finland - the Rivers Kemijoki and Ounasjoki, approximately 800 km north of Helsinki. It is a university city, the commercial centre for the area and a city of sport and culture. The population is about 60 000.

Rovaniemi is located in the middle of rugged and beautiful wilderness, therefore the observation of the changing seasons is easy. Each of the eight season has their own unique light, temperature and natural phenoma. As the year comes to a close it is time for Christmas, romantic twilight and beautiful blue moments. You could argue that Rovaniemi is at it's best in December!
