What travelers think of our Rome experiences
What you’ll do
Ah, we love Christmas time, don’t you? And you get to spend it in Rome, you lucky thing! As you can imagine, the Eternal City is even more magical than usual at this time of year. Don’t believe us?
How does strolling down cobbled lanes, the smell of baking panettone drifting out of bakeries, and festive lights twinkling overhead sound? Or what about playing it really Italian and stopping by the spectacular Nativity scenes at St Peter’s Square and Piazza del Popolo before perusing the stalls of the Christmas market in the Piazza Navona?
With one of our hosts to share the city’s beloved Christmas traditions with you, you’ll be swept up in the Christmas spirit and lulled into a blissful festive fairytale (or maybe it’s warming red wine you’ll stop to sip, which will lull you into that, we couldn’t possibly say).
Feast on classic Christmas treats like pandoro or panettone, soak up the atmosphere, and get cozy amongst the Christmas lights and festive garlands draped across a piazza. La dolce vita indeed!
