It's easy and compared to normal Finnish prices it's quite cheap, too. For students it's something like 35 euros to get more than 800 km north from Helsinki! For adults it's twice the price.
The trains are very comfortable and if you get a cabin (that's a bit more expencive, then) I can guarantee that you sleep well. I myself usually sleep in the normal sitting cars, because they're okey too.
There are usually restaurants cars in the train and all the announcements are also in English. Sometimes there are also fancier Pendolino and InterCity trains travelling during the night. They're even nicer to travel!
The web-page is exellent, you can find all the timetables and calculate the best trip for you and also see the exact price for that particular trip. Leave a Comment

 Rovaniemi Train Station at 0c by bpacker
Now if you're accustomed to train travel, you would know that a triple berth is bloody high. It took some getting used to but this little mistake turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We were later joined by a pretty Finnish blonde who regaled us with stories of the Finnish Ruska ( Autumn Colours) . This made us even more excited to go to Rovaneimi and after the conversation, Liz and the Blonde slept like good little gals on the lower bunks while I fretted at the top.
When our train finally arrived at Rovaniemi Station at 7:55 a.m, some 12 hours and 35 minutes after we left Helsinki, I was stone asleep. As luck would have it, I failed to wake up when the train conductor moved around the compartments to rouse the passengers. I only woke up in horror when the conductor came to the berth again and said that we were the last passengers on board. We were very lucky to have been discovered by the conducter, if not we would have landed in Helsinki some 12 hours again.
Cost of the Sleeping Berth ( 21 Euros ) . Our Train fare was covered by the Scanrail Tix.

 Kemi Train Station by bpacker
Rovaniemi Train Station -> Kemi Train Station (Finland)
VR Train (Finnish Railways). Click here for time schedule.
Journey Time : 1 hour 30min
Kemi Train Station->Kemi Bus Station
Now this is slightly tricky but the bus station is just a stone's throw from the station.After you alight. Walk to the right, cross a main road and voila! It's about a 4 min walk. A tiny bus station awaits you there. Your Scanrail pass should cover the fare, if not a small fare. We told the ticket attendant that we wanted to go to Haparanda ( say HA-PA-RUN-TA) and we got a ticket.
Kemi Bus Station->Tornio Bus Station(Finland)
Journey Time : 45min. Click here for the schedule. The bus will stop at Tornio first before crossing over a tiny suspension bridge to Sweden! If your bus connection doesn't continue to Haparanda, never mind; it's only an 800 meter walk from the bus station in Tornio to the one in Haparanda.
->Haparanda Bus Station(Sweden)-> Lulea (Bus Station)

Many Safaris offices offer a trip to the Ranua Park done in 4 hours.
I have been there and 4 hours are not enough to see that fantastic Wildlife Park.
I suggest to go to the bus station, take a bus ticket and using the line 8 go to the Park, take your time during the day and then take the last bus to come back.
This is the less expensive and better way to have fun at the Park Theme: Bus

Me and some friend went to Rovaniemi for Christmas and we booked the flight really early.
With sourprise we did the first trip from Zurich to Oslo with Lufthansa and from Oslo to Rovaniemi with BlueOne.
We had a great flight with BlueOne, the plane was really clean and the organization was simply perfect, no problems at all.
Even outside there was a terrible weather, the plane landed and in Rovaniemi sweetly, then i realized that everything was covered with ice but anyway the plane landed simply perfect.
Even the crew is really kind, always ready to answer your questions and needs.

Best is to rent a car (Hertz Rovaniemi: markus.mattanen@hertz.fi), bus, and, of course, on the skis! Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Rovaniemi, the 'capital' of Northern Finland, is in the lower regions of Lapland at the centre of where the Arctic Circle winds its way through the heart of the Maid of Finland (the name Finns give to describe the shape of the country).
Rovaniemi has developed into one of the main centres for traffic to the arctic region to which thousands of people who thirst for adventure fly from all over the world each year. The connections for all other forms of transport are excellent.
Finnair flies from Helsinki to Rovaniemi six times a day and VR, the national railway, operates five trains a day. Many coach companies pass through Rovaniemi on their way to the North.
The city and its surrounding Rural District with all that they have to offer together form an irresistible attraction for holidays and tourism in Lapland. This easy going city with its services lives in harmony with the surrounding pure nature and - no wonder that more and more people keep coming back here again and again…
