Workation in Rovaniemi: the essentials
Retreating German troops burned Rovaniemi almost to the ground in 1944, and Alvar Aalto drew the plan for its rebuilding, so what you see today is functional rather than old. Lapland's capital of about 66,000 lies at the meeting of the Kemijoki and Ounasjoki rivers, roughly 6 km south of the Arctic Circle, with a university and the Arktikum museum. From autumn to spring the pull is northern lights, husky trips and skiing on Ounasvaara, and in summer the sun barely sets. The Santa Claus Village draws a heavy crowd around Christmas. The airport is about 8 km out, and overnight trains run from Helsinki.
