About Rovaniemi
Rovaniemi is the capital of Finnish Lapland, where the Ounasjoki and Kemijoki rivers meet just south of the Arctic Circle. In December the sun barely rises, and snow usually lies from November into spring. This Rovaniemi live cam comes from the City of Rovaniemi and shows Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle line, about 8 kilometres north of the centre.
Which Rovaniemi webcam to check first
Watch the square for falling snow, frost and the light, which in midwinter lasts only a few hours. Visit Rovaniemi's webcam page adds views of Ounasvaara hill, Lordi's Square and the Koivusaari riverside.
Before you go to Rovaniemi
Temperatures can fall well below minus 25 °C. Check the Finnish Meteorological Institute forecast and book popular December activities well ahead.
