Where a Lapland visit begins

About Arktikum

Arktikum, the science centre and museum by the river in Rovaniemi, brings together the Regional Museum of Lapland and the Arctic Centre of the University of Lapland; its own line is that a Lapland visit begins there. Check its winter opening hours before you go.

Why it's on our list

  • The Arctic and its peoples
  • A warm afternoon indoors

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Arktikum before you go.
