German market in Florence
The beautiful Florence celebrates Christmas with the German Christmas Market, the famous “Weihnachtsmarkt“. It is a real corner of Germany in Piazza Santa Croce, where you can taste pork knuckle and sauerkraut in a truly charming atmosphere.
The Christmas cribs in Tuscany
During the holidays an unmissable attraction are the famous nativity scenes in Tuscany.
Just think of the crib of Cerreto Guidi that stretches for 12 meters and is a single large crochet that 50 ladies have made with incredible patience in years of work.
The amazement instead overwhelms us at the sight of the crib of Petroio, a town not far from Vinci, where the great Leonardo was born. In Petroio the crib is completely mechanized and occupies an entire hill.
The magical Christmas atmosphere also envelops the Mugello with the beautiful mechanical nativity scene in Borgo San Lorenzo, the self-propelled nativity scene in Marradi and the living nativity scene in Palazzuolo.
In our opinion these are the best places in Tuscany to be visited this Christmas. The surprises you know never end and to make your stay in Tuscany really special we suggest you to taste the exquisite typical cuisine.
