[Shiyi’s wood-fired salmon is in Santa Claus Village! You will never forget it after eating it! 】
#NovemberGood Places2024
This time I came to the Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi, and there was a very famous salmon restaurant inside! This restaurant is called “Santa’s Salmon Place” and it is a shop that only sells salmon set meals! This set meal includes potato salad, a piece of bread, and a large salmon! I think this salmon is the best grilled salmon I have ever eaten. There is a central stove in the store, which uses wood fire to cook it. With the salmon fat, it is simply top-notch!
In addition, you can also order hot blueberry juice and drink it in winter, which will immediately fill you with a warm feeling! The outside of the store is also very beautiful, with lights on and a Christmas atmosphere!

Unique Nordic Style Coffee Shop in Rovaniemi! Excellent Food and Ambiance!

This coffee shop is located in the city center and has a very Nordic style environment with different areas for customers to relax and dine! They sell a variety of breads, desserts, and drinks!

Meet Santa at his official hometown!🎅

Exploring Rovaniemi – The Official Hometown of Santa Claus
#traveldiaries
Rovaniemi is a magical destination in Finland, especially for those who love winter experiences. Located in the heart of Lapland, Rovaniemi is where you can meet Santa Claus all year round. My visit here was a dream come true, complete with snow-covered forests, husky safaris, and reindeer sleigh rides. The highlight was crossing the Arctic Circle and experiencing the Northern Lights at night. If you love Christmas and snowy adventures, Rovaniemi is a must-visit!

Longed-for Snow Country: Santa Claus Village, Finland
The first stop after COVID19 : Rovaniemi, Finland 🇫🇮
Santa Claus Village in winter is exactly what I have always dreamed of in my heart
Thick snow and a white mist outside the window
It is a bit tiring to walk but I still like it ❄️
The red cabins and the orange lights at night
It really seems like Christmas is coming 🎄🎅🏻
There are not many activities, sleigh rides, reindeer cart rides, and then eat venison🫎
Walk and stop, take a sauna at night🧖♀️Watch the aurora if there is one
Some people say that Santa Claus Village has serious light pollution
But when I was taking a sauna, the pig brother guarding outside the house shouted: Yes! pole! Light! 🌌
I quickly showered and wiped the sweat off. I didn’t even have time to put on my underwear.
I put on my snow jacket, pants and shoes and ran out😅
But it was all worth it because as soon as I went out, the Aurora was right above my head🤩
Thank you, Brother Zhu, for waiting in the extreme cold.
The waiting time may be long and cold, but you will find it worthwhile when you come back.

Santa Claus village is located in the reaching point of Arctic circle. There’s line in the village to remind you that you are stepping into it. In the recent trip to rovaniemi, I have tried the deer ride which was an unforgettable experience for me! After that , I have explored the village around and captured some of the good moments. The red lighting has shined the village and made it more attractive.

Rovaniemi is one of my favourite city in Europe and this place is also one of the best city in Finland. In the recent trip being Rovaniemi, I have explored around the Arctic circle point and visited the Santa Claus village and even the husky village. The Santa Claus village has an office inside and you can get some souvenirs and send a postcard letter from Santa to your friend which is a really incredible experience. During the winter, it was extremely cold but I really liked the view over there. There’s also a temperature measure outside and it was -3 degrees! After that, I have visited the husky and they are really cute with the white and black skin.

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.

#2024wish
Santa Claus is one of my favourite place in Rovaniemi. The reason why I will say that is because of my dream. Stepping into the Santa Claus and seeing the Santa is my dream when I was a child. Finally I got a chance to step into the village in last year Christmas, and I had a husky ride which was really interesting and the experience was unforgettable .
Furthermore, I also visited the Santa Claus office and saw different things related to its own culture and for the Christmas.
I really hope I can see those views again and have a chance to visit the deer in 2024!

So Exciting to cross Arctic Circle
#celebratewithtrip
This marking of the Arctic Circle is inside the Santa Claus village in Rovaniemi. It's highlighted clearly and has pillars with lights too. We are so excited to cross the Arctic Circle inside the building and outside. The place was full of activities, which included reindeer ride, shopping, passport stamping, posting of cards with special stamps plus a photo with Santa Claus.
Great experience!!

Rovaniemi Airport
#celebratewithtrip
This is Santa's Official Home Airport. It's a small Airport mainly for arctic tourism.
Small clean airport with all necessities. Santa claus roules... 😊 Quite well designed internally with a simple flow to board.
The airport is located around 15 minutes from Rovaniemi town. There is an airport shuttle and a public bus going to the town. Nice view there.

A Magical Day at Santa Claus Village
Don’t know about you, but I’ve always dreamed of meeting Santa Claus one day since I was a small kid. Little did I know that I get to travel to Finland and visit to the magical Santa Claus Village.
My first stop in Finland was in Helsinki just like many other tourists’, so I rode a 10-hour overnight bus to Rovaniemi because it was the cheapest way to get there from Helsinki. It was so exhausting but worth it. After getting dropped off from the bus, I had to take an extra bus to the santa claus village.
I arrived at around 9am and it was so pretty. Though the weather was freezing, the sun shined bright and made the village even more spectacular. What’s interesting is that you are actually in the arctic circle after you go inside.
Having the reindeer ride was literally my dream come true. I’ve always loved reindeers and this was the first time i saw them. Never thought they were strong enough to actually pull me on the sleigh. But it was amazing and gave me “into the unknown” vibes. I didn’t get on the husky ride but it seemed fun too.
Other than the rides, there were not much left to do in the village, but there were many souvenirs stores, food and cafes so you can spend a nice day here.
A somewhat extreme tip for saving money is that you can walk from the village to the Rovaniemi airport to leave. It only takes around 30 minutes. There are usually flights from Rovaniemi to Helsinki but not many. On the day I left, I saw the board showing that my flight was the only flight of the airport on the entire day.
For young travelers like me who’d like to check the Santa claus village off the bucket list and don’t mind the many efforts to get there, personally i think one day is perfectly enough. But if you have more time and budget, you should definitely stay a night in the Rovaniemi town and do some exploring there as well.

Pure Burger and pizza at the Arctic circle
This restaurant is actually called Kauppayhtio (with two dots over the last o) in Finnish and it means trade company. Well, their name is part of their brand as they do trade indeed but they’re trading burgers and pizzas to people. I didn’t try pizza this time as I was eager to have one of their well known burgers.
The restaurant has been decorated using kind of pop-art / vintage style. I like it although it’s purposely designed to be a little unfinished, a little factory like.
The most important part is the dining experience. The service is very much in line with their style mixing friendly and a little industrial style service but one thing they are very passionate about is their food. The burgers are worth tasting. The serving is original their style and the wall of chili sauces offers the customer a chance to give a significant boost to the burger. I had mine with side salad but fries and even loaded fries are also an option. The price of the meal is about 20 euros without shake and about 25 euros with the milkshake which is famous too and indeed tasty. So when compared to many other restaurants in the region the price is very reasonable but the biggest thing is their dedication and their willingness to do it with style.
You can find Kauppayhtio from Rovaniemi in northern Finland. Their address is Valtakatu 24.
