Rovaniemi is very safe. Not sure why you'd want to be up that late looking at the northern lights since it's pretty much dark 24/7 this time of year. So long as the weather is good you should see them, but I'd go further out of town to get away from ambient light. You might be lucky enough to meet some reindeer on the beach at Arktikum btw!

The northern lights are in January even to the south. It depends on the state of the magnetic field. And we need good weather without clouds. To increase the probability it is better to go further north. For example, in Tromsø

Leider nicht.Finisch und englisch.

Why don't you call the museum and ask, they all speak excellent English in Finland. And if they don't have lockers it would be very safe anyway. The Fins are very honest and who'd want to steal your luggage and cart it somewhere anyway?

According to their website it will be open daily excluding only Christmas Eve.

Ciao. Non ci sono audioguide e né spiegazioni in lingua italiana: solo in inglese e finlandese. Tuttavia io che non conosco neanche l'inglese, sono riuscita a capire, se non tutto, una buona parte di tutto ciò che era proposto. Le illustrazioni sono tantissime, molto chiare, belle e compren-sibili. Non mancano altri supporti alla comprensione come filmati, modelli, simulazioni, etc.
