tra.cra49Santa 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.

魔女锦鲤In addition to visiting Santa Claus, there is another place you must visit when you come to Rovaniemi, which is the Arctic Center. Rovaniemi is located in the Arctic Circle, so the chance of seeing the aurora here is very high. There are many exhibitions on aurora knowledge and animal models in the Arctic. You can learn a lot of knowledge here.

But don't be disappointed, there is also a 66°33' 07" white North Pole line indoors, where you can take photos in winter.

lilysuunThe wildlife park is about an hour's drive from Rovaniemi city. It is a good place to see small animals in winter. There are representative animals such as polar bears and elks, as well as owls and so on?

壹笛WangComing to the Christmas Village to take a photo with Santa Claus was supposed to be a meaningful game, but ended up spending most of the day waiting in line (too many people, December 25th). From getting a number to queuing up to enter the venue, I waited for more than three hours in the (outdoor) snowy and (indoor) crowded space... In the end, I missed the last bus back to the city (closed at 17:18), so I had to take a taxi 🚕 It took half an hour to wait for the bus and 30 euros to get back to the hotel (Note: The distance from the Christmas Village to the hotel is less than 6 kilometers)
