Meet Santa at his official hometown!🎅
#traveldiaries
Santa Claus Village is located in Rovaniemi, Finland, the official hometown of Santa Claus. You can meet Santa Claus and his elves at Santa's office every day of the year. Meeting Santa is a unique experience and he reminds me of a world of fairy tales. 🎅
It's never too early to write your Christmas greetings in the Santa's Post Office from the Arctic Circle to your family and friends all over the world. The cheerful Postal Elves will post your greetings for you, whether it’s Christmas or the middle of summer! All post will be stamped with the special Arctic Circle postmark.
The Arctic Circle is a circle of latitude that runs 66°33′45.9″ north of the Equator. It runs through Santa Claus Village, located eight kilometres north of the city centre, where it is clearly marked.

The Snowy Scenery of the Arctic Circle: Unforgettable!
October is a month that prepares us for winter, and Finland has already turned into a vast snowy land! This time, we visited Rovaniemi and witnessed some incredibly beautiful scenery! Rovaniemi is the capital of Lapland, located within the Arctic Circle. Every year, this place is also a great spot for chasing the Northern Lights. On our first day here, we mainly walked around the city and saw that the trees in Finland were covered with snow, the lake surfaces were frozen, and the roadsides had turned into vast snowy fields. Although the weather was extremely cold, being able to enjoy such a vast snowy landscape was truly unforgettable! We highly recommend visiting Finland in winter to experience the winter atmosphere here!
Ocean Finnish Fortress
The Fortress of Suomenlinna, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is an impressive sea fortress located on a group of islands off the coast of Helsinki, Finland.

Today, Suomenlinna is a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.

[Finland] The only Moomin Museum in the world [Moomin]
The Moomin Museum is a must-visit for Moomin fans!
It is located in the city of Tampere in Finland.
You can get there by bus or train from Helsinki.
(If you book your train or bus early, you can purchase tickets for less than half the price, so we recommend purchasing your tickets as soon as you have decided on your itinerary!)
The Moomin Museum has many works that faithfully reproduce the story, and you can't help but stare at them.
Every single one was made with great care and delicacy.
The guidebook and audio guide are also available in Japanese, so even those who are not good at English can enjoy the world of Moomin.
The reviews said that it was easy to finish and that 2 hours was enough, but as a big Moomin fan, I ended up rushing at the end after 2 and a half hours.
(I regretted not taking much time based on the reviews. 😢)
If possible, it's best to allocate your time with plenty of time.
In the museum, there was a Moomin shop and a bookstore, although they were a little small.
When I visited in July 2024, it was okay to take photos of the artworks 📸
I've included a photo of the artwork so you can get an idea of the atmosphere! There are many other wonderful works and illustrations, so please come and visit us✨

Korouoma Nature Reserve Winter Wonder Adventure
Hiking through Korouoma nature reserve was a breathtaking experience! The stunning natural beauty of the Finnish wilderness surrounded me as I walked along the frozen river and took in the frozen waterfalls!

HELSINKI
Helsinki is a totally unique combination of quirky urbanity and peaceful nature that gives silence and space to feel more, hear more and experience more.
Helsinki delights travellers with its sea-facing landscape, diverse architecture, world-famous design, and Nordic cuisine. Finland’s capital is compact enough to explore on foot, and many reputable hotels are in the centre of the action. Among its many sights are unique churches, a UNESCO-listed fortress, and traditional marketplaces dating back to the 19th century.
There’s a passion for sharing what makes Finland truly a unique and wonderful country to not only visit but live in. There’s a love for slowing down, being connected to the outdoors, and, of course, that incredible design scene.
It’s all of these things and more that make traveling to Helsinki an experience to remember.

Arctic circle Rovaniemi🇫🇮
#thingstodo
Rovaniemi definitely is one of my favourite city in Finland. This place is reaching the point of Arctic circle and considered as one of the coolest place on Earth. In the recent trip to Finland, I have been rovaniemi and visited the Santa Claus village. The village is really beautiful with the lighting and there’s a deer ride inside the village you have to try. Moreover, I am really lucky to participate the open ceremony of the Christmas season and the event was awesome!

Rovaniemi Finland 🇫🇮
#thingstodo
Rovaniemi is one of the northern city in Finland and this place is reached the Arctic Circle point. During the winter, this place is extremely freezing and recently I have been the Santa Claus village of Rovaniemi. When I arrived in there, the first things I saw that was the markable distances comparison between Rovaniemi and everywhere from the world, which is really iconic. Secondly, I have been inside of the Santa Claus office to see different things. For example, the special post box , the gift, the Christmas tree. They are all unique and special with the village decorations.

Winter Fairytale: Lapland's Snowy Spectacle
Lapland, Finland, should be on your travel wishlist if you dream of a snowy landscape. Although this northern Finnish region is charming in the warmer seasons, consider scheduling your trip from November to March.
During this time, thick blankets of snow adorn the trees, enthusiastic Huskies are ready to pull you on a sled, and there's an increased likelihood of witnessing the mesmerizing Northern Lights.
If you love these photos, be sure to like and I’ll post more of Finland 2023! 🙏

Favourite Trip of 2023 - Venice
Venice has got to be one of my favourite trips of 2023. It was my first time in Venice and I fell in love with this charming, rustic and romantic water town. The architecture was unique, love the many bridges running through the water town and the majestic grand canal. It was so soothing and peaceful for me to be cruising through Venice in the water buses (Vaporettos) though the waters was always busy and bustling. November is a good time to visit Venice with lesser crowds. Love the amazing gelatos and fresh seafood I had in Venice.
2023 Venice was great and I hope to explore new amazing destinations in 2024 with Trip.com, my preferred travel partner (app) that I always go to when planning my next place of travel!

Nordic Dreams Unveiled: Noway & Finland
In 2024, I dream of embarking on a soul-stirring journey through the awe-inspiring landscapes of Norway and Finland. The rugged majesty of Norway's fjords calls out to me, promising an adventure filled with towering cliffs, mirror-like fjord waters, and the serenity of nature untouched. Finland, on the other hand, whispers tales of dense pine forests, pristine lakes, and the mystical allure of the Arctic Circle.
On a personal note, I envision immersing myself in the local cultures, savoring traditional delicacies, and forging connections with the warm-hearted people who call these lands home. Yet, beneath the personal aspirations, I aspire to approach this expedition with a touch of professionalism, meticulously planning each step to ensure a seamless and well-organized exploration.
Here's to a 2024 filled with wanderlust, personal growth, and the magic of discovering the hidden gems of Norway and Finland!

-13 degrees in Rovaniemi
Rovaniemi is one of the coldest place in the world as it reaches the line of the Arctic circle. In my recent trip to Rovaniemi was fabulous as i saw lots of stunning nature and different views in there.
In the first morning , I have crossed the river and I realised that some part of the river get frozen and the reflection is amazing! After that I went to the park and captured some of the beautiful scenes.
I will say this place is beautiful and the snow made me feel happy! Just remember you have to prepare the warmest clothes as it is very cold!!!

Staying in a glass igloo
The extremely hot & humid weather on recent days makes me pine dearly for those snowy moments in Scandinavian Europe.
That particular night, we stayed in a 2-storey glass igloo located within a short walking distance from Santa Claus Village. With snowflakes steadily falling from the sky, our surrounding landscape appeared even more magical and we couldn’t have asked for a better prelude to Christmas Day.

Rauma, a port town from the Middle Ages
The Finnish coast is full of picturesque towns, often with well-preserved wooden cores. The largest and most famous of these is Rauma, a port town from the Middle Ages.
A walk through Oud-Rauma, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, feels like a stroll through an open-air museum.
The town centre consists of 600 colourful wooden houses. They are well preserved, richly decorated and beautiful to look at. Here you'll be introduced to Rauma's proud traditions: sailors and screw lace. Just outside Rauma you'll also find Sammallahdenmaki, a cemetery with dozens of Bronze Age cairns. Nowhere else in Finland will you find two World Heritage sites to close together. #tripblazers #celebratewithtrip #finland
The Capital of Finland

Uspenski Cathedral - Helsinki, Finland
Located in the city centre of Helsinki, the Uspenski Cathedral is also one of the most famous structure in Finland.
This is a Greek Orthodox cathedral, dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary). It was built in 1868.
It was a pity during my trip, the cathedral was closed thus unable to go inside. But if you’re in Helsinki, I would recommend you heading in to have a look, as admission is free!

Romantic Finland
There is an icy country in Northern Europe, which attracts people from different places to visit every Christmas 🎄. I don't need to give you a hint, I believe everyone has already guessed that this country is Finland🇫🇮. In the white fairy tale world, there are Santa Claus 🎅, reindeer 🦌, and the northern lights. I believe this scene is all exciting.
The popularity of Santa Claus Village has never diminished. As long as there is innocence, adults or children will love this place.
It is extremely romantic to take a deer cart ride around Santa Claus Village with your loved one in the snowy ❄️ weather. If you're lucky that day, you won't have to wait long to see the wonderful Northern Lights. No matter how cold the weather is, accompanied by love, I immediately feel warm in my heart. ❤️💕

Kamppi Chapel
#celebratewithtrip
From the outside, this place doesn’t look like a chapel, but a modern architectural site. The building is made of wood and elliptical in shape.
Lovely, silent experience. Impressive that wood can be enough for building such a graceful place. Very beautiful chapel. Minimalistic, free entrance and the staff were very nice. Inside it was super quiet and great for reflection.
Definitely recommended!

Suomenlinna

One of the best tourist attraction near Helsinki. It was a castle built to protect capital from foreign forces. It is very accessible via ferry from Helsinki port. This island is protected by UNESCO because its story and probably its fortress. Really lovely place. Definitely recommend a visit to walk around and enjoy the nature.
