As per tradition, during the holiday season there are many CHRISTMAS MARKETS in the streets and piazzas of the historical centre.

From hand-made products to food and wine, from the ever-present candies to gift items – the various exhibitors are ready to offer you many ideas for your Christmas presents.
Warm-heartedness, festive atmosphere, colours, lights, sounds and smells – all the ingredients for Christmas in Ravenna.
