Weihnachtsmarkt, the Florence Christmas Market which takes place in front of the Church of Santa Croce and which offers local handicraft products, read the post to fully experience the magic of Christmas.
A Christmas in FlorenceAmong decorated shop windows, roasted chestnuts street vendors and shops full of packages and gift ideas, you can breathe an air of celebration, but of a special party. At Christmas in Florence, the German Christmas Market, called Christmas Market, the Florentine Christmas market inspired by those of Germany and Trentino Alto Adige.
In fact, when we imagine the Christmas Markets, we rarely think of the Christmas Markets that are in central or southern Italy. The real markets are always those in northern Italy or northern Europe, so all countries such as Stockholm, Norway and so on. Tuscany and in this particular case Florence, to give an even more Christmas air (so to speak) has invented the Christmas Market, the typically German Christmas market.
La Church of the Holy Cross is the backdrop to this wonderful Christmas market. Here the smells of good food and mulled wine, the slightly lazy and romantic atmosphere make the experience of visiting the market and stalls certainly pleasant, even for those who do not like Christmas very much.
The traditional wooden houses will open their doors as every year at the end of November and will close a few days before Christmas. From 10 to 20 the traders, coming from different parts of Europe, will sell handicraft products, decorations, clothes, home decor, toys. In short, making purchases to put under the tree will not be difficult. Other stands will offer a variety of European foods, from strudel to French biscuits, because you know, shopping makes you hungry.
As always, the dates of the openings and closures of the Christmas markets, vary from year to year and also the timetables. To be really sure to find this particular market in Florence open, I suggest you consult either the official websites of the city of Florence, or the regional ones. In this case, you will not go for a spin when you decide to go to Florence to see the Weihnachtsmarkt or some other market in the Florentine city.
