Welcome to Rovaniemi and the start of your winter holiday in Lapland. Transfer will be arranged from Rovaniemi Airport or Rovaniemi Train Station to your accommodation, making your arrival as smooth and comfortable as possible. After checking in at your hotel, take some time to settle in and explore Rovaniemi at your own pace. Depending on your arrival time, you can walk around the city centre, discover local shops and restaurants, or simply enjoy your first moments in the snowy forests of Ounasvaara. If you arrive early enough, your first evening can already include a Northern Lights hunting tour with photography. Your local guide will take you away from the city lights and choose the most promising direction according to the weather and aurora forecasts, giving you the best possible chance to experience the Northern Lights on your first night in Lapland.
