Arezzo

Province of Arezzo · Tuscany · Italy

Admission and costs
Admission to the Tyrolean Village and Piazza Grande stalls is free. Natale in Fortezza, Santa’s House and Brick House Art have their own tickets; purchases and food are paid for separately at individual stalls.
Getting there
Alight at Arezzo station on Piazza della Repubblica. Walk into the centre along Corso Italy: Piazza San Jacopo and Piazza Risorgimento make useful first stops before continuing to Piazza Grande. The climb to the Fortezza is a separate extension.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Switch to the Museo di Casa Vasari at Via XX September 55 for painted rooms and the artist’s story. This independent museum has timed admission and a separate ticket from Christmas attractions.
Where to park
Consider the Pietri, Cadorna or Eden car parks. On event days check temporary parking and traffic changes around Piazza Grande.
Route and accessibility
Piazza Grande slopes, and the route to the upper part of town includes uphill stretches.

Sarnico

Province of Bergamo · Lombardy · Italy

Admission and costs
The lakeside market has free entry. Refreshments and shopping are paid to individual exhibitors; the bus fare covers transport and does not include spending at the chalets or any separately organized activities.
Getting there
From Bergamo railway station reach the bus station and take Arriva line E towards Sarnico, alighting at “Sarnico Municipio”. Continue on foot to the lakefront and Viale Garibaldi, where the chalets stand. Line E does not operate on 25 December.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Gianni Bellini gallery at Palazzo Gervasoni in the old town is the indoor art alternative. It operates its own opening arrangements, rather than extending the market or automatically opening throughout the chalet hours.
