The Town with Eight Seasons

Meet Rovaniemi, The Paris of the North (as the locals lovingly call it)

The capital of Lapland has been through a lot. Burned to the ground in the Second World War, Rovaniemi has risen from the ashes and is now home to some of the most fun-loving and outgoing people in the whole of Finland.

During the summer the streets of Rovaniemi are busy with people attending various events, such as the Midnight Marathon, Jutajaiset folk dance festival and Simerock, the world's northernmost rock festival. Join the crowds and pick up tips on the best places to hike, bike and relax the day after!
