While you won’t find many Christmas markets in Rome as elaborate as the ones in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France, there are still many compelling reasons to visit the famed Italian capital during Christmas time.

For one – it’s Rome, one of the most incredible cities in the world… but visiting during winter time also means far thinner crowds compared to the summer peak season. Plus, the city comes alive with Christmas programming, whether it be pop-up markets with a festive theme, or a big ice rink and accompanying Christmas village.

While we wouldn’t choose Rome as a destination to see for just its Christmas markets alone, we’d happily visit Rome any time… and any Christmas magic is just a bonus!

So if you find yourself in the same boat and plan to visit Rome during Christmas time, here are some tips on navigating the Rome Christmas market scene, with official dates, hotel recommendations, and locations.
