Welcome to the real Winter Wonderland!

Here you can meet Santa and his reindeer

Did you think that Santa lives in the North Pole? Think again! The real Santa lives in Rovaniemi, Finland. Every year he receives tens of thousands of letters from children all over the world. Read more here.

Finland truly is a winter woderland. Not only do we have Santa, but did you know, that in Northern Finland there are over 200 000 semi-wild reindeer living on their own in the nature? You can see them anywhere when driving in Lapland, or, if you want to meet some tamed reindeer, you can visit one of our countless reindeer farms.

Oh, and one more thing: wanna see some snow and beautiful auroras? Finland is the place for you!
