The village lies about eight kilometres north of the centre of Rovaniemi, right on the Arctic Circle, marked by a line that visitors love to step across. It includes Santa's Office, the Santa Claus Main Post Office, which receives letters from children around the world, and shops, restaurants and activities such as reindeer and husky rides.

What you'll see

• Snowy paths and festive buildings
• Visitors from around the world
• Northern skies, from the polar night to the midnight sun

Winter is the most magical time, with deep snow, Christmas lights and a chance of seeing the northern lights. In midwinter the sun barely rises, while in summer it hardly sets. December is the busiest month. The stream is provided by the City of Rovaniemi.
