Transfer from Rovaniemi Airport to Lordi’s Square

The transfer covers about 9 km from the airport into town, leaving the terminal on Lentokentäntie (Route 951) before joining Sodankyläntie and the E75. Shortly after, you take exit 55 towards the centre, where the countryside around the airport gives way to the town's built-up edge. The route is short and direct, so most of the view is of the approach rather than of landmarks.

Your driver waits at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of the terminal where your flight lands, holding a name sign. Allow about 10 minutes in light traffic, but expect 15 to 25 minutes door to door on snowy winter roads. Lordi's Square is at Maakuntakatu 29-31, next to the Sampokeskus shopping centre; stopping on the pedestrian street is not permitted, so you will be set down on the adjacent roads and walk in.

A pre-booked private transfer beats the alternatives here. Taxi fares are often fixed at €30 to €33 depending on time of day, while metered averages for up to four people sit near €26, so agreeing the price first is essential. The Airport Express bus runs every 25 minutes between 9:00 and 21:30 for €8.00 one way, but it is paid by card only, follows its timetable, and leaves you to reach your accommodation separately.
