Santa Claus

If you want to track down Father Christmas in Lapland, look no further than Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi. This is where the action happens in Finnish Lapland. The Scandinavian Travel Group has created lots of opportunities for you to meet Santa Claus at his official home and you can also visit the Elves School in Rovaniemi, Lapland.

Understandably, Santa’s busiest month is December. However, it is still possible to meet him and the elves if you plan your trip carefully in advance. One of the popular programs is a 3-hour guided tour of Santa Claus Village and Santa Park.

Here are some highlights of Rovaniemi Christmas Village…

• • The Christmas fun begins when you walk along the Magic Path and cross the official Arctic Circle line to meet Father Christmas in Rovaniemi.
• • You will receive a diploma to officially say you crossed the Arctic Circle.
• • Exploring the Official Santa Claus Post Office is included in this tour. You’ll get to see the thousands of letters addressed to Santa sent from all the boys and girls (and adults!) from around the world. This mail is handed over to Santa who loves to hear from anyone who embraces the spirit of Christmas.
• • While you’re at Santa’s Post Office, it is the perfect opportunity to send a postcard loved ones back home. Outgoing mail is decorated with an official Santa Post Office stamp.
• • The tour also allows plenty of time to explore Santa Park. Discover all the Christmassy rides and enjoy the Elf School Interactive Show, lots of activities at the elf workshops and other organised fun.

The Scandinavian Travel Group can also arrange private programs to ensure you make the most of your time in Rovaniemi Lapland. You don’t want to waste precious time waiting in long queues because there is so much to see and do. Therefore, it is worthwhile booking a program that packs in the fun.
