The easiest and best Christmas Holiday you’ve ever booked: Right here all on one page.

Rovaniemi is the capital of Lapland, in northern Finland and the official home of

Santa Claus.

Ever wondered what it would be like to go to Santa’s home and meet the Elves, eat cookies made by Mrs Clause or checking out the official North Pole Post Office? Well here it is in Rovaniemi. An open invitation to book your once in a lifetime holiday experience.

When is the best time to visit?

The Northern Lights start appearing in late August and this is the reason why many people visit Lapland during August, September and October as it is the ideal Aurora viewing months, but we think Christmas is the best time ever. This is the time to experience a magical Christmas in magical surroundings.

Temperatures start dropping below zero usually in October, and the first snow will then start to fall. So in December it is a true Winter Wonderland.

There is snow all around the world, but Lapland is different. There are thousands of ‘Christmas trees’ growing everywhere and all capped with snow.

Why you should visit Rovaniemi Finland

...with the magic of Christmas, you have more than enough reasons to visit this magical place.

Did you know

There are more Reindeer than people in Lapland.
