About Lapinrinne
Where to stay in Lapinrinne
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Lapinrinne holds few beds itself, sitting just off the centre. Stay toward downtown Rovaniemi. The core of the Lapland capital, a short way from this central district, gathers the lodging and onward links most visitors want, while the calmer slopes toward Korkalorinne give travellers a restful base near the heart of the city in the Arctic north of Finland.

What is the history of Lapinrinne?
Lapinrinne grew as housing filled the ground near the centre of Rovaniemi. The slope drew its name and its streets. As the Lapland capital rebuilt and spread out from its core, residential districts such as Lapinrinne and the higher quarter of Korkalovaara took their place among the everyday neighbourhoods that ring the working heart of this town in the Arctic north of Finland.
