Bussolengo – Flover

Province of Verona · Veneto · Italy

Admission and costs
Village admission is free and individual visitors need no reservation. Purchases, food and optional attractions are separate; groups exceeding twenty people use the dedicated portal. The village is closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
Getting there
From Verona Porta Nuova take ATV buses 162, 163 and 165 towards Bussolengo, using the Via Pontara stop. Continue to Via Pastrengo 16 on foot; drivers can use the listed Flover and fruit-market parking areas on Via Pastrengo.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The village’s shopping area is almost entirely covered, letting you remain on site. Santa’s House, skating, train and rides are outdoors; using the dining areas involves buying food or drinks.
Where to park
Flover and produce-market parking are on Via Pastrengo. The Via Risorgimento parking areas include unpaved surfaces.
Route and accessibility
Pushchairs are permitted, but management may restrict their admission on crowded days for safety. The Via Risorgimento parking areas include unpaved ground.

Greccio

Province of Rieti · Lazio · Italy

Admission and costs
Admission to the Franciscan Nativity Sanctuary is free. The International Nativity Museum is a separate visit with its own admission and booking arrangements. This heritage itinerary does not include or imply a living-nativity performance ticket.
Getting there
Greccio has a station on the Terni–Rieti–Sulmona line, but the Christmas transfer from it requires booking. Arrange the final leg before travelling. For drivers, use the car parks on Via San Francesco; the sanctuary and village are separate stops.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
In the village, the International Nativity Museum offers indoor collections. Its admission is independent of the sanctuary visit; museum bookings and enquiries are handled on +39 0746 740028.
Where to park
Use the car parks on Via San Francesco. Plan separate onward journeys to the village and the sanctuary.
