Santa Claus Village in Lapland

There is the official Santa Claus village in real Lapland (Finland), quite nice and very small. I live in Lapland and I've been to this village.


Santa Claus Village

This village is officially called Santa Claus Village, in fact refers to the city of Rovaniemi.

There is the official residence of Santa Claus. Santa Claus speaks many languages, including Russian (though very little). You can go there, meet with Santa and take a picture with him. This is not cheap, but since you arrived. It is the 2nd most popular tourist center in Finland, in 2007 received the Topworld International award. The village itself is 2 km from Rovaniemi Airport. You can also get by bus in 30 minutes from the railway station.
