December has begun and you can already smell the scent of Christmas in the air! It’s time for people to take out their scarves, their wool hats, their colored decorations and their small firs to trim them in the sitting room with their family. Even the main Tuscan cities prepare themselves to Advent period with some wonderful initiatives you cannot miss during your holiday Tuscany: one of these is the “Weihnachtsmarkt”, the German Christmas market in Piazza S.Croce in Florence.
From November 30th to December 21st, the square in front of one of Florence’s best churches fills up with dozens of small wooden houses, among which you’ll be able to buy objects to garnish your crèche, Christmas tree or your house. However, it’s the culinary itinerary between international flavors that will really be worth the visit and that will astonish you for the variety and the quantity of different foods! They come from all parts of Europe and they’re outstandingly reunited in just one place: taste Italian, German, Hungarian, Polish and French specialties like the famous brezels and wurstels!
The atmosphere is made even more magical by its amazing scenery, the ancient buildings and the peculiar beauty of Florence’s old town center surrounding it: now, you just have to visit yourself renting a property in the city to discover it!
Moreover every Sunday “Bianca Natale”, Santa Claus’ daughter, will get to the market to meet the children while Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th the lyrical choir “Light Gospel Choir” and the “Bandierai degli Uffizi” company will perform in the square and will offer incredible shows to its visitors.
