Helsinki to Rovaniemi - Fjords Fortresses Road Trip

Author Avi Bandana Published on 20 Oct 2024 Updated on 31 Jul 2025

Embarking on a magical 8-day road trip from Helsinki to Rovaniemi in a rented motorhome is an unforgettable way to experience Finland’s diverse landscapes, historic landmarks, and unique cultural sites. Starting from Helsinki, we dive into Finnish history and culture with a visit to Suomenlinna, a stunning sea fortress that combines history with scenic seaside views. Nearby, the Old Market Hall is a must-stop for local delicacies and fresh pastries—ideal fuel for the adventures ahead!

After a quick route planning session, we head west to Turku Castle. Exploring this medieval fortress feels like stepping back in time, and it’s the perfect place for families to indulge in a bit of historical fun. The nearby Moomin World brings the world of Finland’s beloved characters to life, and it’s sure to be a hit with younger travelers (and those young at heart!).

Continuing north, we reach Särkänniemi amusement park in Tampere, a fantastic stop that offers everything from thrilling rides to the serene Näsinneula Observation Tower, where the views of Finland’s vast lakes and forests are breathtaking. Using a reliable route planner makes navigating between these stops a breeze, ensuring every day has a balance of fun and relaxation.

We then venture into nature at the Kanavuori Nature Trail, an ideal place for a family-friendly hike with spectacular views of Finland’s inland hills and lakes. This peaceful walk is a great way to stretch our legs and enjoy the RV lifestyle, taking in Finland’s natural beauty up close. Another gem along the way is Farm Animal Park Arkadia, where kids and adults alike can meet Finnish farm animals and experience a slice of rural life.

As we journey closer to the Arctic Circle, Lapland Husky Safaris offers an introduction to the iconic huskies of Finland—a thrilling experience for animal lovers. This stop gives us a real taste of Lapland's winter traditions, even in the summer months. Finally, we reach Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi, where every day is Christmas! Meeting Santa, exploring the workshops, and crossing the Arctic Circle make for a magical end to the trip, especially for families with children.

Traveling by motorhome makes this route incredibly convenient, allowing us to comfortably cover large distances and settle into cozy campsites each night. With careful road trip planning and route flexibility, each stop adds to the adventure. This RV journey from Helsinki to Rovaniemi is a mix of historical landmarks, thrilling attractions, and serene natural beauty, making it the perfect way to experience the heart and soul of Finland.
