Top Traditional Villages in Finland

I suggest booking a time for Santa meeting in advance. I forgot to do that and ended up waiting over an hour; it was worth it but could've been better organized!

Bring your own snacks if you have dietary restrictions. The food options are limited and can be pricey. I ended up spending a lot on just a quick bite!

Explore the free activities like walking through the village and taking photos with the statues. I thought I had to pay for everything, but wandering around was a highlight.

If you're planning to buy souvenirs, check online stores for special offers. I found the same items cheaper online after my trip. I wish I’d looked before shopping!

Renting your winter gear from a local shop in town can save you a ton compared to renting from Snow Village. Plus, you can usually find some cool local shops that offer discounts.
