Nestled on the Artic Circle in Finnish Lapland, Santa Claus’s official dwelling is a place visited by thousands of people each year.

Young and old alike seem infused with youthful glee as they approach the residence of one of the most important people from their childhood -the man who makes dreams come true, but only if you were a good little boy or girl.

Christmas is certainly a tough time for Santa. What he does in one night no ordinary human being could ever hope to complete in their entire lives, but Santa Claus makes no secret of his means, it’s simple as that:

“We have part of the machinery here in my chamber. There are axes and wheels with which I can slightly slow down the passing of time, when I need more time to visit all good boys and girls,” the white-bearded old man explains.

He also has helpers, such as reindeers and elves. Working round the clock, elves pack presses and answer the hundreds of thousands of letters they receive annually. Anyone who comes to this magic village can try their at this difficult job.

For many visiting Santa’s home has been a dream since childhood and they’ve travelled from far afield for the experience of a lifetime.
