A good place to relax and walk, especially with children. Yes, and it's entertaining for adults, after all, New Year's Eve has always been a favorite holiday in Russia. I have been to Veliky Ustyug with Santa Claus, and to the residence of the Karelian Talviukko, everywhere it is interesting, but there are also features of another country, everything is a little different, therefore it is additionally interesting. Plus the northern nature, the Finnish order, the business that has been established over the years (and the process of pumping Euros out of the population). Great place, interesting to visit.
Those who have small children should go, it's better to fly directly to Rovaniemi, we decided to take a train to Lapland via Helsinki, it turned out to be more expensive, there is nothing to do and see in Helsinki. The whole village of Santa is focused only on pumping money out of tourists, commerce is all around, reindeer riding 5-10 minutes, the deer are tired, battered (in Murmansk it is necessary to visit the Sami village, it is much more interesting and the deer are cooler), you can send a letter with wishes from Santa's mail, we received by next new year👍🥳 And we were lucky to see the Northern Lights👍👍👍
The place is very beautiful, but nowadays it's hard to get there, it's better to have VIP status, so it's easier to cross the border, Santa is great, he knows Russian!
A fabulous village! The Arctic Circle passes here! Santa Claus is funny! He speaks many languages , including Russian. We sent postcards with Santa Claus's seal from the post office! Good souvenir shops! I highly recommend it with children!
The place is just a fairy tale for children. You can ride tires, drink coffee with a delicious bun, buy souvenirs and take a picture with Santa Claus himself, who also speaks Russian)
A large selection of postcards, you can write and send a letter for Christmas or New Year to your friends and relatives. It is possible to send a letter both right now and delayed sending for the next holidays (next Christmas or New Year).
It is a very beautiful place, a huge park that cannot be passed in one day, a lot of souvenir and themed houses. We were closer to 18.00 on January 5, we did not stand in line for Santa at all👍
