Clear comparison

Bern

Canton of Bern · Switzerland

Admission and costs
The street and square market is free to enter. Food, drinks and purchases are paid for at individual stalls; the museum suggested for rainy weather has its own admission.
Getting there
From Bern station, enter the old town along Spitalgasse and reach Waisenhausplatz. Continue on foot towards Zytglogge, Kramgasse and Münsterplatz: the markets have separate calendars, so the squares remain the route’s landmarks while the open stalls change.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Einsteinhaus, Kramgasse 49, is a small indoor museum stop on the route, with its own admission and hours. The arcades provide shelter along the walk, but do not make the entire itinerary covered.

Assisi · Franciscan places

Province of Perugia · Umbria · Italy

Admission and costs
This suggested walk between squares and Franciscan sites is not a ticketed Christmas event. The Treasury Museum, an optional indoor addition, accepts voluntary donations; transport, guided tours and other museums remain separate from the walk.
Getting there
Assisi station is in Santa Maria degli Angeli below the hill town. Take line C/Assisi Link towards Assisi: San Francesco stop in Piazza Unità d’Italy serves the first part of your visit, followed by an uphill walk through the centre.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Treasury Museum and Perkins Collection is inside the St Francis complex, with voluntary donations. It closes Mondays, 8, 25 and 26 December, and 1 and 6 January; it is not a backup on those dates.
