Set across Piazza Fiera and Piazza Battisti, Trento’s Christmas Market is one of northern Italy’s most atmospheric.
Wooden chalets brim with alpine crafts, locally cured meats and cheeses, and Trentino DOC wines, while the scent of vin brulè and strudel hangs in the air. Families can wander between the two squares via lit streets, pausing for photo stops by the tree and nativity scenes. Sustainable producers and regional artisans feature strongly, making this a great place to pick up authentic gifts. With the Dolomites on the skyline and Trento’s frescoed palazzi as a backdrop, the setting is glorious. It’s easy to reach on foot from Trento Station, and the historic centre is pedestrian‑friendly for a relaxed festive amble.
