The Most Instagrammable Places in Rovaniemi

June 11, 2018 Anna Ruohonen

From urban milieus to pristine landscapes, Rovaniemi treats Instagrammers with unique photogenic spots. Scroll down to see what we suggest to include for your bucket list.

New York -based fashion influencer Leo Chan (@levitatestyle) visited Rovaniemi in May, 2018. You’ll find plenty of Rovaniemi inspiration from his account, but we thought the frame from Arctic TreeHouse Hotel is quite titillating combination of luxury and wilderness.

 

 

When traveling, you surely must always have your personal photographer with you – at least @levitatestyle has. Alicia M’s (@aliciammara) capture of Arctic Light Hotel’s Winter Garden is pretty tempting, don’t you think?

 

ALL of the cozy vibes ☺️💕 @arctic_light_hotel @visitrovaniemi @feelfinnair #LevitateFinland

Landscape photographer Daniel Kordan is known for his surrealistic photos. He found Arktikum’s garden during the midnight sun.

 

 

Chicago-based photographer Alina Tsvor captured the same place but from inside.

 

 

Last spring’s phenomenon was photos of Kotisaari (“Home Island”) by Rovaniemi-based photographer Jani Ylinampa. Kotisaari is located near the city on river Kemijoki.

 

Summer is here 🏝☀️

Iconic Lumberjack’s Candle Bridge never fails. Alexander Kuznetsov, alias @allaboutlapland , has captured the bridge many times from many angles.
