Many new attractions dedicated to Christmas in Florence: the Christmas markets return, starting with the one in Piazza Santa Croce, open from November 30 to December 18.
The Weihnachtsmarkt, clearly inspired by the German tradition, will come alive with its 55 colorful wooden huts, offering crafts, objects, foods, and hosting events, shows, and related activities.
It features not only Tuscan tradition but also Northern European customs, blending habits and cultures that will brighten the Advent days.
Shorter but equally splendid is the Japan-inspired market, which can also be visited in Piazza Tasso, at the former Leopoldine hall (from December 2 to 4).
On the same dates, the Red Cross markets (at the Obihall theater) and the market organized by the Italian Foundation for Palliative Care along the Lungarno Corsini will be set up.
On December 8 only, the Fierucola dell’Immacolata will take place in Piazza Santissima Annunziata: mark it on your calendar if you plan to spend the Immaculate Conception holiday bridge in Florence.
Also, as is now tradition, Florence Noel returns, the Christmas market setup at Leopolda Station: open from December 7 to 11, it will host not only huts and stands but also Santa Claus’s house.
Therefore, Florence also relies on Christmas markets to offer both residents and tourists an atmosphere worthy of the most famous festive traditions of Northern Europe.
