Visit Santa’s official “North Pole” residence
Located in the Arctic Circle, the Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi is known as “Santa’s official North Pole residence” and is one of the most popular travel destinations in Finland. The village is open year-round for kids of all ages to see Santa and his elves.
Visitors can also send postcards — with Santa’s special postmark — from the Santa Claus Post Office, shop for souvenirs at the various handcraft shops or learn about Finnish Christmas traditions at the Christmas exhibition.
You could even have your photo taken with Father Christmas himself!
If you're thinking of spending Christmas at the North Pole, you should write a letter to the elves at Nordic Visitor (and yes, they also accept emails).
