Verona Christmas Markets – Natale in Piazza
Christmas markets in the heart of Verona, between Piazza dei Signori and its historic courtyards
About Natale in Piazza
Christmas in the Heart of Verona
Natale in Piazza is the event that brings Christmas markets to the historic centre of Verona. Wooden stalls are set up in the area behind Piazza delle Erbe, between Piazza dei Signori and its courtyards, the Cortile del Mercato Vecchio, and the Cortile del Tribunale, creating a picturesque route through medieval and Renaissance palaces.
A Hundred Stalls of Flavours and Gifts
The markets feature around one hundred stands offering gift ideas, Christmas decorations, handicrafts, typical products, and gastronomic specialities: from mulled wine to spiced sweets, in an atmosphere reminiscent of Central European market traditions. The large twenty-meter-high Bauli fir tree, standing tall at Porta Nuova to welcome visitors to the city, is also present.
Lights, Nativity Scenes, and Christmas Atmospheres
Verona's Christmas is not just about markets: the city is illuminated with decorations, hosts a nativity scene exhibition, concerts, and cultural initiatives, as well as areas dedicated to ice skating. Verona, famous for its Christmas sweets like pandoro and nadalìn, celebrates the holidays with a packed calendar of events.
A Tradition of the Scaliger Capital
Promoted by the Municipality of Verona, the Christmas markets have become a fixed fixture of the city's winter, attracting visitors from all over Veneto and beyond, with free shuttle buses connecting car parks to the historic centre on weekends.
