Rovaniemi, located in southern Lapland on the Arctic circle, is the capital of Finnish
Lapland and the centre of the province’s trade and commerce.
Rovaniemi offers visitors
an excellent choice of well organised safaris throughout the year and a number of
tourist attractions, good shopping and restaurants, as well as a lively nightlife. A must
while in Rovaniemi is a visit to the Arktikum House Centre overlooking the Ounasjoki
River with it’s permanent exhibition about Arctic nature and its people. The Centre also
has a number of seasonal exhibitions.
Rovaniemi most famous resident is of course Santa Claus who can be found
throughout the year at the Arctic Circle Village. You will also find a range of gift shops
and a special post office at the village. The town offers limited downhill skiing just
10 minutes from the city centre on Ounasvaara fell.

Sitting at the top of Ounasvaara fell, surrounded by
forest and with cross-country / hiking trails and down
hill ski lifts at the door, Sky Hotel remains within easy
reach of central Rovaniemi, only 10 minutes drive.
While ideal for all visitors we particularly
recommend the hotel for families during the winter
as children enjoy the easy access to the snow and
toboggan slopes. All 69 rooms within the hotel have
private facilities, TV, minibar and hair dryer.
The hotel has a popular restaurant offering
panoramic views although those in search of nightlife
must head into the town centre.
