Every guide A–Z
Compare up to three destinations

Put admission, arrival, visiting time and an indoor alternative side by side.

Clear comparison

Aosta

Aosta Valley · Italy

Admission and costs
The walk among the Marché Vert Noël chalets in Piazza Chanoux is free. Shopping and refreshments have their own costs; MAR and the other archaeological sites use separate ticketing and are not included in the market.
Getting there
Replacement buses serve the Ivrea–Aosta railway until 13 December 2026: the final leg during early Advent is therefore by bus. From Aosta’s railway and bus-station area continue on foot towards Piazza Chanoux, the market venue.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
MAR, the Regional Archaeological Museum, stands at Piazza Roncas 12. It offers an indoor alternative exploring regional finds; admission uses the combined archaeological ticket, separate from the free walk among the market chalets.

Time to allow
