Rovaniemi is the provincial capital of Lapland. It is situated
only a whisker away from the Arctic Circle at the confluence of
Northern Finland's two great rivers - the River Ounasjoki and
River Kemijoki. The city was founded during the Stone Age and is
thought to have been continuously occupied since that time.
Today, Rovaniemi is seen as the gateway to Lapland and enjoys
its status as a popular all year round tourist destination.
