Vacation Rentals in the Christmas Markets Region
Trentino is always a beautiful region of Italy that boasts fresh air, wonderful views, plentiful outdoor activities, tasty food and pretty villages but it is especially lovely during the Christmas season when everything is made more picturesque by a layer of perfect, powdery snow, twinkling lights, winter sports, excited kids dashing about, and, most importantly, the region's famous Christmas markets. If you are looking for a festive getaway destination, there could be no better choice in Italy!
The town of Bolzano is one of the best known for these Christmas markets and boasts several including the Mercatino di Natale or Christkindl Mark in Piazza Walther - with its stalls manned by artisans selling food and local crafts, miniature train, merry-go-round, puppet theatre, and horse-drawn carriages - and the Rassegna Mercato Artistico, which takes place in the town hall square and is expressly to local craft.
Vipiteno (or Sterzing), meanwhile, plays host to its own market steeped in local tradition in its charming Medieval town centre. Expect snow-capped roofs, a crib exhibition, traditional German-style Christmas market huts and beautifully arranged decorations. Since 2014, there has been a lovely market in Trento, as well, which takes place in Piazza Fiera and Piazza Cesare Battisti from mid November to early January and boasts local crafts and a sustainable approach. Merano's market opens the end of November and stays about until early January and has a particular culinary emphasis, making it one of the tastiest markets in the region.
Each Christmas market in Trentino boasts something unique and caters to different concerns or interests but all of them are some of the best Christmas markets in Italy and have lovely and beyond picturesque settings. Trentino really is the ultimate festive destination in Italy! Just find a vacation rental in Trentino and soak up the incredible atmosphere for the best Christmas ever!
