How safe is Rovaniemi?
Rovaniemi is a very safe place overall. Of course, if you go to bars, it's a good idea to watch your drink and your back, but I have never had any bad experiences. At bars there will always be old men who think they can get too close, but they usually believe when you tell them to back off. The bouncers are also very kind and will help you if you need help.
Posted: March 15, 2025Rovaniemi is a very safe city to travel. I’ve lived there 5 years and never had any problems or safety issues, no matter what time of day I’ve been outside (even walking home after bar at midnight). Locals are usually friendly and helpful and will help you if you get in trouble.

The city and activities was great I jjust would alert other girls that are traveling alone about a dangerous guy! I met him in Christmas house safari and in the beginning he was very polite however after that I lived in a nightmare. I also met other 2 girls that had the same issue. His name is Fabio! Just take care because he seems very lovely guy but at the end you will be grateful that you dont have serious issue if you are lucky

I flew to Helsinki, and then I took a train to Rovaniemi. I saw the Santa Claus Village, their shopping center in Viking style, an ice hotel, and a dog sled ride, which I highly recommend. The best part was a half-day icebreaker cruise. It's an incredible feeling to be on a boat that clears the way for other boats to continue delivering. We even had a chance to put on dry suits and swim with mini icebergs. I took the train from Helsinki both ways. It was an amazing journey.
