Here you can find all the Christmas markets 2012 in Florence and surrounding you can’t miss.
Weihnachtsmarkt moves from the most famous German cities to reach the cradle of Renaissance which will host it in Santa Croce square. All the products sold there are made in Germany so you’ll be able to buy ornaments and toys while tasting typical dishes from the cold European land: the sugary Christstollen and salty food like Vienna sausages and “sauerkraut”. This market will be in Florence from 28th November to 16th December 2012.
