Choosing your base in Rovaniemi

Rovaniemi is the capital of Finnish Lapland, a city of about 65,000 people on the Arctic Circle. The airport is about 10 km from the centre, Santa Claus Village sits between the two, and the night train from Helsinki runs here. The address shapes the trip more than the type of room does:

City centre: restaurants, shops and many tour meeting points within walking distance. Suits short trips without a car. Street lights make the northern lights harder to see.
Ounasvaara: the city’s outdoor hill, with ski slopes and forest trails. Quieter, but some journeys need a bus or a taxi.
Arctic Circle and Santa Claus Village: practical when Santa is the main event. Fewer everyday services than in the centre.
Cabins and glass igloos outside town: more space and darker skies. Transfers, food shopping and tour pick-ups need planning.

The map shows where each stay is, and every stay page gives the straight-line distance to the airport. Our guide to where to stay in Rovaniemi compares the areas in detail, and Rovaniemi, Levi, Ylläs or Saariselkä? sets the city beside the fell resorts.
