Rovaniemi Airport (RVN) to the city and Santa Claus Village

The Airport Express costs 8 EUR on the bus or 7 EUR booked in advance, and it calls at Santa Claus Village as well as the railway station.

  • The ticket is 8 EUR bought on the bus, or 7 EUR bought in advance as an Airport Express ticket.
  • The bus calls at Santa Claus Village on the way between the airport and Rovaniemi railway station.
  • That is the Arctic Circle stop, and it means you can go straight there from the plane with your bags.
  • Rovaniemi railway station is the other end, with night trains to Helsinki.
  • Connections continue to Pyha-Luosto and to Ruka in Kuusamo, the ski resorts.
  • Tickets can be bought on the bus, so arriving without one is not a problem.

  • One euro is a small saving, but the advance ticket also guarantees you are counted for the departure.

Santa Claus Village

  • The Airport Express calls there between the airport and the town, which very few airport buses anywhere manage: a major attraction on the airport route itself.
  • The village sits on the Arctic Circle, about 8 km north of Rovaniemi.
  • Left luggage at the village makes a stop on the way in workable if your hotel check in is later.

Beyond Rovaniemi

  • Buses continue to Pyha-Luosto and to Ruka in Kuusamo, the two nearest ski areas.
  • Rovaniemi railway station has the Helsinki night train, with car carriage, which is how many Finns arrive.
