Verona Christmas Markets - Piazza Sacco e Vanzetti

The Verona Christmas Markets at Piazza Sacco e Vanzetti offer a delightful winter wonderland experience in the historic Arsenal area of Verona. This festive location features two ice skating rinks and Santa's workshop, creating a magical atmosphere perfect for families and winter sports enthusiasts. Unlike the traditional market stalls found in Piazza dei Signori, this location focuses on active winter entertainment and children's activities. The ice skating rinks provide a unique opportunity to glide across the ice while surrounded by twinkling Christmas lights and festive decorations. Visitors can enjoy the enchanting ambiance near the Arsenal, one of Verona's historic landmarks, while children delight in meeting Santa at his specially designed workshop. The market operates from mid-November through December 26th, with extended hours on weekends and holidays. This location complements the main Christmas market areas in central Verona, offering a more activity-focused experience compared to the shopping and food-centric markets in the city's historic piazzas. The combination of ice skating, Santa's workshop, and the historic Arsenal setting makes this a distinctive destination within Verona's broader Christmas market offerings. For the best experience, visit during evening hours when the lights create a truly magical atmosphere, and consider combining your visit with the traditional market stalls in nearby Piazza dei Signori and Via Pallone.
