Rovaniemi, Finland- Anna Rita Barbacci
00:40Rovaniemi, Finland
Fistfuls of Christmas clichés characterise Rovaniemi, the 'official' terrestrial residence of Santa Claus. Everyone's favourite bearded man hangs out in an atmospheric Arctic Circle grotto, and it's free to visit him (but photos are another story). Snow and reindeer add festive spirit, while the Arktikum museum gives insights into life at these latitudes.
Tip: Finnish thermometers have more numbers below 0°C than above, so pack serious winter clothing.
