We used the overnight train from Turku to Rovaniemi and went back on the Rovaniemi-Helsinki overnight train. The train has got 2 berth and single compartements wich are very comfotable. Some of the trains cary cars too! This is surely the most comfortable way to travel to the north of Finland.

IT’S EASY TO COME TO ROVANIEMI
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…
Welcome!

With the many possibilities of transportation it is easy to arrive in Lapland. Choose an alternative to suit your needs. Train and plane are the most popular ways to get here! (You can't get here by ship :D)
When in Rovaniemi you can travel by bus, taxi, rental car, bicycle and of course for shorter trips you can WALK. =) Remember that Rovaniemi is
a really small town! But don't recomment to walk to visit Santa Claus... It's about 7kms!

by plane: many flights
by train: direct night trains from Helsinki
Best is to rent a car (Hertz Rovaniemi: markus.mattanen@hertz.fi), bus, and, of course, on the skis!

It was a chilly 0c when I stumbled out of the train in Rovaniemi at 8am. The night before, I had taken a train from Helsinki and spent a very restless night sleeping on a very high bunk in a train.......
Rovaniemi is the Finnish capital of Lapland, but you need to go further north to get the real feelings of Lapland.
As you can see I live in Finland -> Rovaniemi.. Rovaniemi (the capital of Lapland), sometimes called "The second capital of Finland", is a quite small town. We have only 35 000 people living in......
