Several tiny log cabins contain Santa’s work rooms and a number of his helpers in traditional Lap costume offer a variety of colorful arts and crafts.The Christmas village also features an entertainment park and a reindeer enclosure. Santa’s main post office is busy each month of the year and thousands of letters arrive from all over the world and millions of messages are sent via the Internet.Once, early pioneers embarked from Rovaniemi and today, it is a busy centre of tourism.

Things to do in Inari, Finland - Discover Lapland in Finland
Have you downloaded my Free Guide to Affordable World Travel?
Inari ( a small village just besides Lake Inari, a huge lake with more than 3000 islands about 100 km long and 60 wide. This unique lake is the only one in the world North of the Arctic Circle that melts during the summer months, allowing for great fishing and sailing.
During the winter season the lake is also one of the best places is the world where to observe the Northern Lights, and while I did see them when I was last here in 2008 I was not as lucky this year. I did get the chance to visit the SIIDA museum, perhaps my favorite in the world which I highly recommend you visit if in the area. In fact I think this is the only museum in the world I have voluntarily visited twice- that actually says a lot!
I then made my way south towards a husky farm, but because I was in the area late in the season I was not able to join a husky tour, something I still have to do. I learned about reindeer and next went to Saariselka, a very popular skiing town just a few minutes away (you can read about my visit here There I visited the Angry Birds Theme Park which will delight kids and prepared for the fun I was to enjoy the following day.
Feel free to ask any question, I'll be happy to answer them all!

10 reasons to hit Finnish Lapland
1. Gold
========
There's gold in them there Lapland river valleys. It was first discovered in the Ivalojoki river valley in 1868, prompting a mini-gold rush.
But there's still a little to be found by lucky and/or determined prospectors.
When the rivers thaw, locals and tourists alike get panning, hoping to come upon a life-changing nugget.
A 251-gram nugget was once found in the Miessijoki river, but many tourists head for the museum at the Tankavaara Gold Village, where the Finnish Open Goldpanning competition takes place every July and visitors can pan for gold all year round.
2. Lip-licking Lappish food
======================
Fans of Rudolph look away now -- reindeer features heavily in the local cuisine.
It's fat free, healthy and wonderfully gamey, but if eating one of Santa's beloved sleigh-pullers is a step too far, there are plenty of other Lappish delicacies to explore.
There's reindeer food (lichen), which, when dried, makes a light, crisp garnish for all kinds of arctic fish, baby root vegetables, herbs, berries and even licorice.
For a full expression of local flavors with a modern twist there's Lapland Hotel Sky Ounasvaara's restaurant in Rovaniemi, where TV chef Tero Mantykangas pushes the boundaries of an ancient cuisine.
3. Gorgeous lakes filled with fish
=================
Lapland is home to hundreds of lakes, the biggest of which is Lake Inari, in the far north, which covers more than 1,000 square kilometers.
Even when the lakes are frozen, Lappish fishermen can be found with their ice fishing augers drilling through the ice by hand to catch pike, perch, rainbow trout and whitefish.
Ice fishing safaris are available to tourists, which often include scooting off to a frozen lake by snowmobile.
There's often more chance of catching a cold than a fish, though, so warm clothes are recommended.
Grayling Land offers ice fishing safaris from October to May.
4. Wildlife (and the not-so-wild life)
========================
There are wolves, wolverines and brown bears roaming around the wilderness of Finnish Lapland. So it's a good idea to whistle while you're exploring to let them know you're coming.
Locals have the right to hunt small numbers of these beasts without a special permit. Many keep herds of reindeer, which often fall prey to such predators.
Luckily, there are some 200,000 reindeer in Lapland -- and only 180,000 people.
Huskies and white Samoyed were brought in from Siberia too, as working dogs to pull sleds. These days they pull tourists, but it gets them out of their kennels.
Nordic Visitor provide dogsled tours and other activities in Finnish Lapland.
