Getting to the Museum

If you consider going to this museum, Arktikum is located on the bank of River Ounasjoki at the intersection of two northbound main roads leading out of the centre of Rovaniemi.

A spectacular view of the confluence of two significant rivers opens directly from the main corridor of Arktikum. You can walk to the museum from your hotel in central Rovaniemi in 15 minutes.
