The city shines
The light decorations are the queens of Christmas! Follow them to discover the most enchanting places in the city and be dazzled by the luminous displays of the photomapping and the large Christmas tree in Piazza Duomo. You will discover a city that shines while also minimizing its environmental impact through careful selection of lights and attentive energy consumption management.
The Enchanted Village
The Enchanted Village of Santa Claus brings life to Piazza Dante, offering fun, wonder, magic, and enchantment for children and for all the adults who have understood the secret of life: never stop feeling like a child!
A rich program of themed activities awaits you: creative workshops, animated readings, ceramics to color, tasty snacks, a sledding track, a magical train, and a refreshment pyramid, all ready for you to experience an unforgettable adventure.
On weekends, children can transform into real elves to help Santa Claus complete the preparations for the big day, taking on a series of challenges and games. And to top it all off… the magnificent Ferris wheel standing 32 meters tall! Hop on board and admire Trento like you’ve never seen it before!
The Christmas Train
Do you want to explore the Christmas sights in comfort? Hop on the magical Christmas Train and let yourself be swept away in a whirlwind of emotions. You can choose your stop based on what you want to visit; in Piazza Dante, you’re just steps away from the Enchanted Village, waiting for all the children. On Via Belenzani, you can reach the Vantini Chapel for an immersive experience on the theme of the Council of Trent, and arrive at Piazza Duomo, with the iconic Civic Tower and the Diocesan Museum. From Via Travai, you can visit the MUSE and the Roman villa of Orpheus. From Piazza Fiera, explore the traditional Christmas Market within the city’s 13th-century walls. From Via San Pietro, you can access the Christmas Market in Piazza Mostra, Buonconsiglio Castle, and the underground archaeological area of S.A.S.S.

A real skating rink awaits young and old in the picturesque setting of Battisti Square!
Christmas of Science

The Volunteer and Solidarity Market
The goal of the Christmas Market of Volunteerism and Solidarity in Piazza Cesare Battisti is to raise awareness among citizens and visitors about the themes of solidarity, promoting and supporting local social activism and its projects.
