Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early on opening day, November 29th, to experience the grand inauguration and be among the first to explore the market.
  • Bring cash for smaller vendors, as not all may accept card payments, ensuring you don't miss out on unique handcrafted items.
  • Check the local weather forecast and dress in warm layers, as the market is primarily an outdoor event, especially for enjoying the evening lights.
  • Take advantage of the extended duration until January 2nd to visit during less crowded weekdays for a more relaxed experience.
  • Explore the newly renovated pedestrian zone and marble plateau, which serves as the backdrop for this year's market, offering a fresh and modern setting.
