Every guide A–Z
Compare up to three destinations

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

Clear comparison

San Candido

Autonomous Province of Bolzano · Trentino-South Tyrol · Italy

Admission and costs
Craft purchases and food make up the market budget; the DoloMythos Museum has its own admission, separate from spending at the chalets. The market is closed on Christmas Day although its overall season runs through Epiphany.
Getting there
Arrive at San Candido station on the Val Pusteria railway. The official listing places it around one kilometre from the centre; continue on foot towards Piazza San Michele for the market, returning afterwards to the same railway station.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The DoloMythos Museum at Via Peter Paul Rainer 11 offers an indoor exploration of the Dolomites. Museum admission and opening hours are independent of the market and should not be confused with any separate Christmas initiatives at the venue.
Where to park
Parcheggio Ovest is free and sits at the western entrance to San Candido. Continue into the centre on foot.

Fano

Admission and costs
The walk between the arch, main street and square is free. Optional entry to Palazzo Malatestiano Museum costs €8 full price, €5 reduced; the combined Via Flaminia Museum ticket costs €10. Admission is free for under-18s.
Getting there
Arrive at Fano station on the Adriatic railway and continue on foot towards the historic centre. Use Piazza XX September as your final reference point: the tourist office is at number 25 and the Palazzo Malatestiano Museum at number 4.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Palazzo Malatestiano Museum at Piazza XX September 4 replaces part of the walk with indoor archaeology and painting collections. It requires its own ticket and closes on 25 December and 1 January, when this alternative is unavailable.
