With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that Sodankyla, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Sodankyla Old Church, Museum of Local History and Culture and Alariesto Galleria. Locals are also likely to point you toward Rovaniemi, 55 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s SantaPark. (But we’re also big fans of Ounasvaara and Arktikum.)
