Become Rovaniemi Summer Ambassador

Where is Rovaniemi?

Located at the edge of the world in Finnish Lapland. Here, the magnificent and almighty Midnight Sun makes it easy to tune your mood into total summer madness. Being a rather small city, Rovaniemi can treat you not only with a myriad of activities, but also with a chance to relax. It’s up to you to choose which one you want to become: summer-crazy or summer-lazy.

What is Lapland Summer like?

Here you can’t really separate night from day as the sun never fells beyond the horizon in these latitudes during the summer. In addition to extraordinary, natural light conditions, Arctic summer days come with a fresh breeze, absolute greenness of the surrounding wilderness, clean natural waters – and of course, Finnish summer happiness!
