Santa Claus Village

Highlight • Settlement

What hard nerves. The waiting for the picture is free, the picture with the benevolent is then clearly in double digits.

Arctic Circle Crossing in Napapiiri

Highlight • Monument

Unfortunately there are no bicycle parking spaces at Santa. There is only a small rack for 5 bicycles. The people at the information desk didn't know what to do either!

Arctic Circle crossing at Santa Claus Village

Highlight • Monument

Santa Claus Village sits right on the Arctic Circle, bit touristy but good fun and definitely worth a visit if you’re passing through Rovaniemi.

Santa Claus' Main Post Office

Highlight • Rest Area

Inside you can see and read many letters that were sent to the good man. It's very interesting.

Rovaniemi Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The church, first built here in 1632, fell victim to the flames in 1944 and was rebuilt in 1950. The interior is rather unusual and well worth seeing.

Rovaniemi City Hall

Highlight • Monument

A cool bit of modern Finnish architecture in the middle of town, Rovaniemi Town Hall was designed by Alvar Aalto and is part of the city’s architectural identity.

Lordi Square

Highlight • Monument

Lordi is a very popular metal band from Finland. That's why the place was named so. I didn't know that when I visited the city, even though I listen to exactly this kind of music.
