With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Rovaniemi, 60 miles away, has to offer. SantaPark should be at the top of your list here. Ounasvaara and Arktikum are terrific attractions too. The locals will also probably point you toward Oulu, 60 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Oulu Market Square. (But we’d also recommend Raati Stadium and Ukkohalla.)
