<\/figure>\n\n\n\nRovaniemi is a prime location to watch the Northern Lights. The best time to observe the natural splendor is anytime between December through to February. Also prepare yourself for possible surprises. You may not be at the right place when the Northern Lights may appear. That is why some companies have designed special software to ensure that you won’t miss the magical sight. These apps which you can download on your phone for a certain price notify you the moment the Northern Lights appear in the sky. Hotels offer further information about this service.
The Northern Lights can be enjoyed from a variety of places. From a snow-covered forest, a hotel roof terrace or on a lake of ice! How? Head out on the icy lake, wearing a special outfit, lie back on the frozen frosty lake and gaze up at the sky. We think that of all the ways of seeing the Northern Lights, this is the most unique and relaxing way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTo visit the snow castle, which is rebuilt in January each year, head to Kemi, 115 kilometers from Rovaniemi. Surrounded by the castle walls, which are 12 meters high, the area also includes a hotel, art gallery, and Chapel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Go on an icebreaker ship<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBoard an icebreaker for a pleasant journey through the frozen waters of Laponia’s Bothnian Sea. Enjoy being on the ice in your warm clothes and drinking special local hot beverages during the journey. You can reach the ship by special shuttle buses departing from Rovaniemi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n10. Snowmobile on icy lakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAnother exciting activity you can try in Rovaniemi is snowmobiling on the ice lakes. There are many lakes in the region, but the lakes only freeze over when the temperatures drop and the snow begins to fall from the start of autumn until mid-April. If you are there during this time frame, grab the opportunity and rent a snowmobile. Snowmobiling is difficult so remember to follow the instructions carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you plan to be in Rovaniemi for Christmas, make sure to find out what Christmas events are on. Discover the Christmas markets that hold lively events. Don’t forget to visit other quaint shops selling local products. Such as items made from the horn of the reindeer, a symbol of the country and the city. Don’t worry, it’s a natural process because deer’s antlers fall off at certain times of the year. After exploring the markets, it is time for a Christmas feast. Don’t forget to book in advance for this special night at one of the many specialty restaurants that serve a delicious Christmas menu. Don’t miss the fireworks at the end of the night where you will view double the amount of fireworks, on the arctic circle, on the border of two countries, with two different time zones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine how incredible it would be watching the Northern Lights from an igloo. The ice hotels even have beds made of ice for those that enjoy the cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n13. Go on a Laponian cuisine food course<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAt picturesque local houses learn the secrets of Finnish cuisine with professional chefs. When you return home you can serve your family all the lovely dishes you learn to cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it is important to take precautions before going to the region. First of all, the right choice of clothes. Wear clothes that cover your mouth and nose completely, and wear thermal underwear. Don’t forget to take cold and waterproof boots with you. Wind and waterproof coats are also a must.
