Montecatini Terme

Province of Pistoia · Tuscany · Italy

Admission and costs
Piazza del Popolo and Viale Verdi form a public walk; stall purchases and refreshments cost extra. MO.C.A. also lists free entry: this itinerary requires no ticket for a Christmas village or another commercial seasonal experience.
Getting there
Use Montecatini Centro station, distinct from Montecatini Terme–Monsummano. MO.C.A. describes the direct walking route from the stop through Piazza del Popolo to Viale Verdi. All three suggested stops stay on this axis, without adding the funicular or Montecatini Alto.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
MO.C.A. offers indoor galleries with free entry inside the Town Hall at Viale Verdi 46. Spend your market time here instead; the gallery follows its own museum hours, rather than the market’s full opening day.

Alberobello

Metropolitan City of Bari · Apulia · Italy

Admission and costs
The district streets are free to enter; no general ticket is needed to walk among the trulli. Trullo Sovrano is a separate house museum with a €2.50 ticket; shopping and refreshments in the local businesses are optional.
Getting there
For arrival by car, choose the public Ex Mulino car park identified on the municipal map, accessed from the Via Mazzini area. Keep Rione Monti, Aia Piccola, Largo Martellotta and Piazza Sacramento out of your driving route: these are places to explore on foot.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Trullo Sovrano house museum offers an indoor alternative at Piazza Sacramento 10, with €2.50 admission. From November to March it lists 10am–12:45pm and 3:30–6pm; the midday break interrupts visits, while the districts remain outdoors.
Where to park
Use the public Ex Mulino car park near Via Mazzini. Continue on foot to the trulli districts.

Christmas in everyday life

The Singing Christmas Tree in Werdmühleplatz, Zurich, in an archive press photograph. This is not a performance from the 2026 edition.
TO DISCOVER

In Zurich the Christmas tree really sings. And you want to leave!

Red capes, green branches and dozens of voices: the Singing Christmas Tree is also a tree made of people. From 19 November to 23 December 2026 a square in the heart of Zurich is once again filled with music. And the concerts are free.

TO DISCOVER

CHRISTMAS: THERE IS MORE THAN ONE STORY IN THE NATIVITY SCENE!

Shepherds and Magi meet in our cribs. In the Gospels, they come from two different stories waiting to be discovered.
