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.
