Santa Claus Magical City in Varaždin is something not miss this Advent. In past years, Santa Claus “resided” in Santa Claus House, which became a kind of symbol of the Varaždin Advent.

This year, the house has transformed into a ‘city’, and the space of 30 m2 has been replaced by the courtyard of the Sermage Palace, spanning almost 400 m2. A bigger area – more magic. In the enchanting courtyard of the Sermage Palace, Santa Claus will have his office where he will warmly welcome visitors with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Claus will have her workshop next to Santa’s office, where various workshops will take place with delicious cookies, animated movies, and magical stories. The Grinch will also have his place, but even he will be in a cheerful, holiday mood in Santa Claus’s Magical City. There will be a Souvenir Shop, a Sweet Corner, and numerous magical photo spots. And most importantly, entrance to the Magical City will be – free.
