About Santa Claus Village
Santa Claus Village sits on the Arctic Circle outside Rovaniemi, which calls itself the Official Hometown of Santa Claus. You can meet Santa Claus at his office every day of the year, and the village’s own site says entrance to the office is free of charge. The Arctic Circle is marked across the central square, so children can step from one side to the other; the official, full-service Santa Claus Main Post Office is a few steps away.
Why it's on our list
- Meeting Father Christmas
- Crossing the Arctic Circle
- The Main Post Office
- Reindeer and husky rides on site
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Santa Claus Village before you go.
