Overview
During the 2025 holiday season, Verona turns into a magical winter destination thanks to the festive programme of Verona Christmas. The city lights up with markets, artistic installations and traditional events that fill the historic centre with atmosphere and warmth. The iconic Comet Star in Piazza Bra, arching from the Arena, opens the celebrations and becomes the symbol of Christmas in Verona.
The heart of the festivities is the Verona Christmas Markets, inspired by the classic wooden stalls of Nuremberg. Visitors can explore Piazza dei Signori, Loggia del Consiglio and Cortile Mercato Vecchio, discovering handcrafted gifts, winter flavours, local delicacies and Christmas decorations. Ice skating, children’s shows, concerts and cultural activities enrich the experience for families and visitors.
One of the most beloved traditions returns with the International Nativity Scene Exhibition, featuring hundreds of nativity cribs from around the world. Guided tours, creative workshops and themed events animate the entire city, offering an itinerary of lights, history and culture.
Verona Christmas 2025 is an enchanting journey through heritage and celebration—perfect for those seeking an authentic Italian Christmas atmosphere.
