Children believe in a fairy tale, in Santa Claus. It costs them nothing to write him a letter and ask him for a gif.webpt. It is really possible to write a letter to a fabulous grandfather even in summer. The residence of the fabulous grandfather is located in Veliky Ustyug. It is there that Santa Claus receives children's messages.
Children's letters
You can not only write or call to Santa Claus, but also come to visit him with your children. Everything in the fabulous estate is decorated in the style of an old Russian tower, including the post office. It is located in the city itself. Thousands of children's messages are kept neatly on the shelves.
My grandfather's helpers read more than 750,000 letters annually. Letters are written to the fabulous grandfather from all over the world, even from southern countries. Most of the letters come before the New Year. Arriving at the post office, you can meet Santa Claus himself, although he is rarely there. However, from the post office, any guest has the opportunity to send a message to his family and friends. He will be provided with a beautiful envelope with a personal signature and seal of a fabulous grandfather.
You should write to grandfather at the address: Vologda Oblast. Velikoustyugsky district, Mardengskoe s / p. Santa Claus.
Two ways to visit Grandpa
You can visit Ustyug in two ways: go on your own or buy a ready-made tour and not worry about a hotel or buying a ticket. The travel agency will take care of this. It can offer accommodation not only in a hotel, but also in a hostel. The conditions in the hotel are more comfortable, there are more people in the hostel. In the hotel, as a rule, guests are greeted more friendly, creating comfortable conditions for them.
Arriving on a tourist voucher, tourists are limited by the program. Arriving on their own, guests can take their time to see the temples built by merchants. They can wander along the forest paths to their fullest, admire the beauty of nature, breathe fresh air.
