Groupon’s Guide to Italian Christmas Markets

Enveloped in Yuletide spirit and winter cheer, the Italian cities springs a traditional Christmas market bubbling over with crafts, trinkets, rich mulled wine, carols and parades.

Stalls full of wood carvings, figurines and thematic candles may be found in Piazza Navona, lighting up the Christmas atmosphere in Rome. Pancakes, donuts and other sweet treats are available in Milan at Piazza of the Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio, where the Italians celebrate with lighting decorations and live performances. In Florence, winter-themed ornaments, gingerbread and gifts for the loved ones are concentrated at Piazza Santa Croce, where visitors may feel the holiday spirit amid the stalls. A German-style market, elegantly illuminated and decorated with traditional wooden huts can be admired in Verona, hosting the Nuremberg Christmas market in the central square.
