Every guide A–Z
Compare up to three destinations

Put admission, arrival, visiting time and an indoor alternative side by side.

Clear comparison

Rovereto

Autonomous Province of Trento · Trentino-South Tyrol · Italy

Admission and costs
The chalet circuit through the central streets can be explored freely. Purchases and food cost extra; Casa Depero and Mart have their own tickets, while individual Christmas programme activities follow their specific admission terms.
Getting there
Arrive at Rovereto railway station on the Brenner line and walk towards the centre via Corso Rosmini. The chalets form a loop between Via Roma, Via Tartarotti and Piazza Erbe, best explored on foot rather than looking for one enclosed entrance.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Casa Depero, Via dei Portici 38, is the indoor art alternative in the historic centre: adult €7, family €14. The ticket covers the museum, not the market; opening follows the Mart museum calendar.
Route and accessibility
Casa Depero is accessible. Conditions vary at other stops on the Christmas route.

Erice, Sicily

Province of Trapani · Sicily · Italy

Admission and costs
Walking through the village streets requires no monument ticket. Cordici Museum is optional: €5 full admission or €10 for the combined sites specified by the foundation. The cableway has a separate transport fare.
Getting there
The public uphill connection is the Trapani–Erice cableway: lower station on SP31 at Via Capua, upper station at Erice Vetta on Via delle Pinete. It closes from 3 November to 4 December 2026 and restarts on 5 December; earlier visits need a road transfer.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Cordici Museum houses archaeology, art and an alabaster nativity. In November and December, weekday visits require booking at least 24 hours ahead; Saturdays and holidays open 10:00–16:00. Museum admission is separate from the cableway fare.
