Santa Claus Village is a must-visit for those looking to immerse themselves in a winter wonderland and enjoy an authentic Christmas experience. However, it’s also a very touristy spot, and it can be expensive, so it may not be for everyone.
7.5 km from downtown Rovaniemi
Highlights: Santa Claus Village is located on the Arctic Circle, 8 kilometers north of Vaniemi. Every year, a steady stream of tourists flock from all over the world to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus. Santa Claus Village is a group of wooden buildings, including a spire with a main entrance, a restaurant, a flower garden, Santa's office, a residence, a post office, a gift shop, an elk park, and more. The tents and antlers where the Laplanders stayed are also interesting souvenirs. Here you can also get a certificate for crossing the Arctic Circle. Stamps, greeting cards, gifts, etc. filled with fairy tales at Santa's Post Office. All mail sent from here will be specially postmarked with the North Pole Santa Claus Post Office. Here you can also pre-order a letter signed by Santa at the post office and send it to friends and family at Christmas as a surprise. There is a deer park surrounded by wooden fences at the edge of the forest, and there are many beautiful elk in it. In summer, they lay lazily on the lawn to maintain health; in winter, especially at Christmas, they work hard for Santa Claus and tourists, dragging deer carts to speed on the snow, allowing tourists to enjoy the thrill of snowflakes and feel the joy of Christmas. Joy and warmth make the scene on the Christmas card a reality.

Came to the Christmas Village to take a photo with Santa Claus, it was originally a meaningful game, and the result was that the queue took most of the waiting time (too many people, December 25), from the appointment to the queue to enter the field in the (outdoor) ice and snow / (indoor) crowds of space waited for more than three hours... ...and finally missed The last bus back to the city (17:18), had to take a taxi 🚕 It took half an hour to wait for the bus and 30 euros to return to the hotel (Note: the distance from the Christmas village to the hotel is less than 6 kilometers)
7.5 km from downtown Rovaniemi
Highlights: Santa's office is located in Santa Claus Village, Finland. You can meet Santa here, but there are usually long queues, clothes and bags have to be stored, and you can’t take pictures when you enter the seniors’ office. Santa Claus here is all "certified". If you want to take a photo with Santa Claus, you need to pay extra. Of course, in addition to the photo, the special items in the souvenir shop can also remember the journey.
