Rovaniemi Travel Guide
Finland
Rovaniemi is a city of 34,781 people in northern Finland, in the Finnish region of Lapland. Its location near the Arctic Circle gives it a distinctly northern setting, with cold winters and long summer days.
Most visitors arrive by air through Rovaniemi Airport (RVN), the city’s listed airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so trips here are better planned around the inland Arctic landscape rather than a beach stay.

Tipping: Tipping is not as common in Finland as it is in some other countries. Service charges are usually included in the bill, so tipping is not expected but is always appreciated for exceptional service.
