Tips & Advice

  • Go on a weekday morning if you can, since those are the least crowded times at Bologna's Christmas markets.
  • Get there on foot or by public transport rather than driving, because the market is right next to the city's train and bus stations.
  • If you drive in, park at Staveco, Tanari or VIII Agosto and walk to Piazza XX Settembre from there.
  • Bring small children along for the carousel on the square, and leave time for them to ride while you browse the stalls.
  • While you're out at Bologna's markets, try the local favourites: a cone of hot chestnuts, vin brulè and torrone.
