The Christmas market in San Marino takes place as part of the initiatives of The Christmas of Wonders, a series of Christmas-themed events to celebrate Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Epiphany in San Marino even outside the home, among the streets of the ancient historic center.
There is something for everyone, starting with the many nativity scenes set up in various parts of the State, including a live nativity scene in the Castle of Montegiardino. The San Marino Christmas market is a traditional event that goes beyond the mere display of Christmas goods, although there is a rich assortment of ornaments, gift ideas for Christmas, tastings; all illuminated by Christmas lights that make the alleys of the historic center even more special, suspended in a timeless fairy tale atmosphere.
The little houses and stalls welcome visitors who are also entertained by itinerant performances. Not only Christmas markets in San Marino but a full calendar of initiatives, setups, and events enrich the holidays in the small Republic; the most impressive setup alongside the markets is the Christmas Village with colorful rides, an ice skating rink, and a room for 4D short film screenings.
The San Marino Christmas markets remain open until January 6, to accompany visitors until the end of the Christmas holidays.
Given the influx of tourists, if it is not possible to find a hotel room in San Marino, the advice is to book a hotel in Rimini, a nearby town well connected to San Marino.
