Rovaniemen kaupunki

Rovaniemi, a small, international city of business, government and education, is located at the confluence of Lapland's mighty rivers Kemijoki and Ounasjoki. As the capital of the province, Rovaniemi has always been a gateway to Lapland.

Rovaniemi has maintained contact with the surrounding countryside but the urban infrastructure creates opportunities for development and also provides versatile educational and cultural facilities. Within 10 kilometres from the city centre you can find undisturbed nature or a busy international airport. Rovaniemi remembers its past but is not afraid to look to the future. People enjoy living here and are also very friendly towards visitors.
