Grazzano Visconti

Admission to the village, market and general event is free. The Christmas Village requires a ticket covering the attractions included in the package; museums, castle visits and parking remain separate services and charges.

Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Wax Museum near the village’s north entrance offers an indoor alternative exploring Piacenza’s history. It has its own ticket and opening arrangements; the castle is not a freely accessible shelter for market visitors.
