AL SNAPS 📸 | Australia | Travel | Content Creator | UGC on Instagram: "YOUR GUIDE TO SANTA CLAUS VILLAGE IN LAPLAND, FINLAND - ✨save for later ✨

A bucket list item that can’t be missed - but there are always so many questions about the village itself & how to get there. 

🚎If you’re staying in the centre of Rovanemi, you can catch a bus to get there. It’s about a 20 minutes. There is a public bus that you can Apple Pay on OR a bus that looks more like a coach which you buy a ticket for once on there. We got picked up beside the Naava Cafe Park, opposite Nordica Design Residence Rovaniemi

💰 The village itself is FREE - you can walk around and access all the spaces like Santas Post Office, Gift Shops etc. Other activities come at an additional cost. 

🐶 We did external activities through local providers for Reindeers and Dog sleeding, so the only thing we paid for at the Village was our photo with Santa and some hot cocoa 🫶🏽

🎅🏼 I didn’t understand what people meant before we left but there are two places you can meet Santa and get a photo. We choose to go with Santa Clause Office. You have to get a ticket for a time slot for your photo. I suggest doing this as soon as you arrive at the village. The wait for your time slot can be a few hours. Once it’s your time, you line up Office and wait to meet Santa and take your photo. We only had to wait half and hour but it can be up to an hour or longer. Paying for the photo itself is optional.
