【Finland】Meet Santa Claus?! Santa Claus Village

A magical place where you can meet Santa Claus 🎅🏼 all year round.

This dream destination is located in Rovaniemi, Finland, at the Santa Claus Village.

In addition to the Santa Claus Office where you can meet Santa, the village offers activities like reindeer sleigh rides, husky sledding, snowmobiling, as well as restaurants and accommodations. It’s a small theme park where you can enjoy a full day of fun ❄️

《Location》 Rovaniemi
《Duration》 1 day
《Access》 About 30 minutes by bus or taxi from Rovaniemi city.
《Tips》 Be aware that some activities require advance reservations! For example, the husky sledding experience can get fully booked. Also, you need to make a reservation at the counter for the Santa Claus Office as soon as you arrive.

There’s also a post office where you can send letters. I sent a letter to myself, scheduled to arrive by next Christmas ✉️❄️

And don’t miss the famous salmon restaurant, Salmon Place. Here, you can enjoy an exquisite salmon plate 🐟. However, it’s a very popular spot, so be prepared for long waits! (During the year-end season, I waited for 2 hours around 4 PM.)

Santa Claus Village offers unique experiences you can’t find anywhere else 🎅🏼. Be sure to visit and make unforgettable memories ❄️
