Rovaniemi Holidays

No trip to Rovaniemi is complete without stepping into the magical world of Santa Claus Village, where the Christmas spirit is alive all year round. Meet Santa himself in his cosy office, cross the Arctic Circle, and even get a certificate to prove it, and send a postcard from Santa’s official post office, where letters are stamped with a special Arctic Circle postmark. With twinkling lights, festive shops, and the chance to see Santa’s busy elves at work, it’s a place that brings childhood dreams to life – no matter your age!

Rovaniemi is one of the best spots on Earth to witness the mesmerising Aurora Borealis, a natural light show that turns the night sky into a swirling canvas of green, purple, and pink. The thrill of spotting this breathtaking phenomenon is even greater when you’re wrapped up warm on a snowmobile adventure, gliding through the wilderness on a reindeer sleigh, or tucked away in a cosy cabin deep in the Arctic forest. With clear skies and a bit of luck, you’ll be treated to a dazzling spectacle that feels truly magical.

Few things compare to the adrenaline rush of dashing through Lapland’s snow-covered forests on a husky sledge, led by a team of eager, fluffy Arctic dogs. Feel the crisp winter air on your face as you race across frozen lakes and winding trails, with only the sound of paws crunching in the snow. Along the way, you’ll learn how to mush your team, hear stories about the dogs’ incredible endurance, and, of course, give plenty of belly rubs to your four-legged guides!

Lapland’s cuisine is a delicious blend of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, rich flavours, and centuries-old traditions, making every meal an authentic Arctic experience. Salmon and wild forest berries take centre stage, with must-try dishes like Poronkäristys, a hearty plate of sautéed meat served with creamy mashed potatoes and tangy lingonberries. Or lohikeitto, a comforting, creamy salmon soup that warms you up from the inside out. If you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss leipäjuusto, a unique Finnish squeaky cheese best enjoyed warm and drizzled with golden cloudberry jam. For an unforgettable meal, head to Nili, where rustic wooden interiors set the scene for a feast of traditional Lappish flavours, or visit Ravintola Roka, a cosy bistro that puts a modern, Nordic twist on local classics.
