Travelling with children
How to travel with children?First of all, I would like to mention the essential points of travelling with children. If you were previously travelling with one backpack, now extra clothing for the child, first aid supplies, toys or colouring books, pens, to keep the kid busy on the way, or cartoons and games loaded tablets in case of emergencies constitute a significant part of the luggage. Another critical point is to make the right travel plan and explore where to go with your child. Because every city we travel to is not child-friendly. If we are travelling with children, we must choose places that will be fun, educational for children, and not tedious for us.

Santa Claus's home is in Rovaniemi. You can see not only Santa Claus, but also have snow-skiing with Huskies, see polar bears and deer.
