The city walk through Rovaniemi offers a rich blend of architecture, culture, and local history, highlighted by a visit to the iconic Aalto buildings, the football stadium, and the church of Rovaniemi. Along the way, you will learn fascinating insights, such as the fact that the city map of Rovaniemi was designed by Alvar Aalto in the shape of a reindeer’s head. Aalto, an internationally recognized architect, played a key role in the post-war reconstruction of Rovaniemi. His designs for the theater, town hall, and library form the architectural heart of the city’s renewal.
During the tour, you will explore the unique character of Aalto’s work, including his thoughtful approach to lighting design, interior spaces, and furniture choices. You’ll also have the chance to reflect on whether Finnish landscapes can be recognized in the buildings’ exteriors. When possible, the tour includes a visit to the church of Rovaniemi, where you can admire its distinctive fresco and learn about the stories behind it.
