About this experience

Day at Santa’s Hometown

Journey to Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus, for a full day of Arctic magic, iconic sights and Christmas atmosphere.

Begin your day at the Arctic Circle, where you have time to explore Santa Claus Village at your own pace, cross the legendary Arctic Circle, browse the boutiques and enjoy the unique atmosphere of one of Lapland’s most famous destinations.

Afterwards, your private transfer takes you the short distance to SantaPark, an underground Christmas world hidden inside the Arctic Circle. Enjoy a relaxed lunch before having plenty of time to discover SantaPark and its festive experiences.

With transportation and the day’s arrangements taken care of, you can simply enjoy Rovaniemi before returning to the peaceful Arctic coast.
