Piazza Navona Christmas Market

The Christmas market in Piazza Navona is where to go in Rome to get the highest concentration of Christmas cheer. There are stands selling mulled wine and sweets along with all sorts of Christmas decorations, which make wonderful souvenirs and gifts from Italy. The ornaments of Befana, the Italian Christmas witch, are particularly Italian as are the figurines for nativities, which many households recreate in their homes each year. There are also lots of activities for kids, like the Christmas carousel. If you go, be sure to try a super-sugary ciambelle, or donut, to keep your shopping energy in full gear! BUS: 70, 81,87
