Hello Reader,

I hope you are enjoying the Yule spirit of the upcoming winter holidays! In Italy, we are super excited and getting our decorations and gifts ready.

If you have decided to spend Christmas in Rome this year, you will be pleased to know that there are plenty of things to do, apart from tucking into seasonal treats!

Join Christmas parties and events

Christmas is a magical time to visit Rome thanks to the beautiful street lights and decorations, the festive vibe, and the events around the city. From concerts to street festivals, in Rome, the Christmas party never ends!

Have fun in the local themed parks

Due to the huge success last year, Christmas World in Villa Borghese opened its second edition. If you are traveling with kids, they will love the Christmas parks set up in Luneur Entertainment Park and the famous Christmas shop located in Vetralla "Il Regno di Babbo Natale" (Santa's Kingdom).

Set up pretty much all over the city, Rome's Christmas markets are a fantastic thing to do whether you want to buy some gifts or just enjoy the festive atmosphere. My full guide here.

Tuck into seasonal treats!

You were waiting for this, weren't you?? Plenty of sweet treats in Rome during the winter holidays. From the local pangiallo and panpepato to the national Christmas cake panettone. If you are a fan, don't miss my guide to the best panettone in Rome!
