Tips & Advice

  • Plan around the market's schedule, since it opens only on set weekends and December 5–8 before running every day from December 19.
  • Be in Gubbio on December 7, when the World's Largest Christmas Tree lights up and starts illuminating the city's winter evenings.
  • Download the map of attractions and artisan workshops before you go, so you can find the nativity, video mapping and other sights around the old town.
  • Ride the Colle Eletto cable car once the tree is lit for a view over the city among its lights.
  • Bring younger children to Piazza Quaranta Martiri, where the Giostra Incantata carousel sits in the market area among the wooden stalls.
