With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Rovaniemi, 16 miles away, has to offer. SantaPark, Ounasvaara and Arktikum alone justify the drive. Don’t skip Sodankyla either! Just 55 miles away, Sodankyla Old Church, Museum of Local History and Culture and Alariesto Galleria are essential stops here.
