Rovaniemi: The Official Home of Santa Claus

Rovaniemi overview

Where does Santa Claus live? Probably each of us has heard this question from the mouth of an excited child at least once in their life. We hasten to answer – in Rovaniemi! The picturesque village of Santa Claus is thriving throughout the year, but it is not hard to guess that it is the holiday season that attracts the most tourists. What’s more, both children and adults have a great time there.

Important details from the source

• Lapland, Turkey or maybe Greenland – where does Santa Claus come from?
• The contemporary image of Santa Claus has little in common with the prototype of the figure – the bishop of Myra.
• He lived in the 4th century in today’s Turkey – hence one of the theories about the descent of Santa Claus indicates this country.
• The inhabitants of Greenland, who invite tourists to the cottage of a good old man with a white beard also have their own legend about Santa Claus.
• For many, many years, however, all paths of seekers of Santa Claus have led to… Finnish Lapland.
• Rovaniemi, situated there, received the status of the Official Hometown of Santa Claus in 2010.
• In turn, only a few kilometers from the center of Rovaniemi is the village of Santa Claus, operating since the end of the 20th century.
• A person responsible for linking Finnish Lapland to the figure of Santa Claus is a radio presenter from Finland.
• He created a radio play for children, and he registered a permanent residence of the character of Santa Claus at Lapland.
• As a curiosity, it is also worth adding that the already iconic image of Santa Claus is not an idea of one of the manufacturers of carbonated drinks.
