My son really wanted to see the real Santa, and my wife and I decided to give him a Christmas present. Lapland was not chosen by chance, because, according to my son, it is there that the real Santa Claus lives. None of our friends had ever been to Finland before, and we simply did not know where to turn, which hotel to choose, what excursions are, and finally, where it is better to book excursions, in Moscow when buying a tour, or on the spot.

Lapland was not chosen by chance, because, according to my son, it is there that the real Santa Claus lives. None of our friends had ever been to Finland before, and we simply did not know where to turn, which hotel to choose, what excursions are, and finally, where it is better to book excursions, in Moscow when buying a tour, or on the spot. We bought the tour from TO "Labyrinth" and as it turned out, we did not lose. We were offered such an entertainment program that we didn’t have a single free day, and by the way, this was all included in the price of the tour, which certainly pleased me. At first there was an impressive trip to Santa, the son still remembers this meeting. He tells all his friends that he pulled Santa's beard. We also went to an ice restaurant. There was a performance with the participation of the Snow Queen, and by the way there was delicious tea, either with currants or lingonberries, we did not understand. Personally, from the planned entertainment, I liked snowmobiling the most, very extreme. My wife and I liked the hotel. Located in the city center. The rooms are not big but comfortable enough. We had meals only with breakfast, but this is quite enough with such a rich excursion. We ate at restaurants in the city. Our holiday was a success. We are thinking of going skiing next New Year, and of course to Finland.

Were in the hotel for the winter holidays with children. The hotel is simple and tidy. What is interesting - the rooms do not have windows on the street - only in the center of the hotel with a view of the restaurant. The windows don't open of course. The general air conditioning system seems to work, but it is impossible to control the climate.

Food: Buffet except weekends for 28 EURO. On Saturday - only the restaurant. Sunday - the restaurant is closed (except for breakfast).
Hotel in the very center to the station 2 minutes drive from the station (we traveled by train)
A few words about the resort and the tour:
Rovaniemi is a neat Finnish hole. One street. Trade center. Railway station. ALL. There is nothing to do there. Nearby are all sorts of estates of sanataklaus and other fake entertainment - it all sucks even for small children.
The Finns are not particularly tense - everything works until 18-00. Without a good knowledge of English, they will not understand you and will not even try to understand. Pharmacies dispense medicines only by prescription, and where to get it. In December the sun comes out at 3 o'clock. In short, a sleepy kingdom. It's still cold - minus 25 C.
Ski hill - tiddly just laugh.
In general, I did not understand - for what people go there.

We got to Rovaniemi by train (24 hours). When we arrived the weather was excellent -8. This is of course a fairy tale! We visited the Santa Claus Village, a reindeer farm, a zoo, you can go skiing and ice skating. The hotel is conveniently located with shops and restaurants close by. Delicious breakfast, comfortable rooms.
