Santa Claus Village is a magical place right on the edge of the Arctic Circle, near Rovaniemi, Finland. For anyone who loves (mostly American) fairy tales, this place must be an absolute dream, whether child or adult. This village, snow-covered throughout the winter, is home to Santa Claus himself. Here you can visit his post office, send cards to your loved ones with the official Santa Claus stamp, or even meet him in person. A walk through the village is like a journey into a fairy tale – the colourful houses, reindeer, elves and the omnipresent Christmas atmosphere will enchant you – and not just at Christmas. We were here at the beginning of March, and even so, the aforementioned atmosphere was breathtaking.
There are plenty of things to experience around the village – whether it’s reindeer or dog sledding, cuddling with the dogs – where they’ll let up to 10 husky puppies into your larger pen, or the aforementioned visit from Santa Claus.
Recommendation: at the Santa Claus Post Office it is possible to send beautiful cards not only with immediate, but also with deferred delivery, where the card can be scheduled for delivery before the next Christmas. We did so in March and the family received the beautiful cards in December.
Santa Claus Village is open every day of the year. For up-to-date information on ongoing events depending on the season, please visit the official website.

Naprosto výjimečné ubytování na břehu jezera Olkkajärvi ve finském Laponsku. Apukka nabízí známá iglů, která jsou díky své konstrukci se skleněnou střechou naprosto ideální pro sledování polární záře z tepla. Jde o dražší ubytování, kde se cena za noc pohybuje kolem 10 000 Kč, nicméně to za to opravdu stojí.
