Natale in Piazza a Verona

Natale in Piazza transforms Via Pallone in Verona's historic center into a magical Christmas wonderland inspired by the German-style markets of sister city Nuremberg. This enchanting market features over 60 traditional wooden chalets offering handcrafted gifts, ceramics, wooden items, and authentic German-style treats including bratwurst, pretzels, and mulled wine. The market's new location on Via Pallone, historically dedicated to ball games and fairs, sits just steps from the iconic Arena di Verona. Visitors can enjoy the Family Area with an Enchanted Forest leading to Santa's House at the foot of the magistral walls, plus a charming train ride for children. The festive atmosphere extends beyond the main market with the Christmas Walk (Passeggiata di Natale) connecting Via Pallone to Piazza Bra and continuing to Castelvecchio Bridge, offering romantic views of Verona's illuminated streets. The Winter Area at Piazza Sacco e Vanzetti features two ice skating rinks with the stunning backdrop of Castelvecchio castle. With its authentic German market atmosphere blended with Italian charm, this market creates an unforgettable holiday experience in the City of Love. Visit during evening hours to see the market fully illuminated and experience the magical ambiance at its peak.
