8 Places Where You Can Visit Santa Claus

In Finland's Lapland region, the Santa Claus Village in the city of Rovaniemi celebrates Christmas 365 days a year.

Entry to the massive complex is free of charge, with plenty of Christmas and winter-themed attractions to choose from, including the official post office of Santa Claus and Santa's Workshop, where visitors can send letters to friends and family around the world. (If you can't visit, you can send Santa a letter — he receives 500,000 letters annually at this P.O. address.) In addition to Santa's residences, the village offers ample snow-themed activities during winter, such as dog sledding, snowmobiling, and reindeer sleigh rides.
