Clear comparison

Sauris di Sopra

Province of Udine · Friuli-Venezia Giulia · Italy

Admission and costs
Admission to the market is free on 5, 6 and 8 December. Purchases and food are separate; workshops and cultural visits follow their own conditions. The nativity trail has a separate calendar, 5 December–6 January.
Getting there
Udine station is a transport gateway to Carnia. The Sauris portal identifies bus connections with Udine, Tolmezzo and Ampezzo; the final destination for this event is Sauris di Sopra, rather than the lake or Sauris di Sotto.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Haus van der Zahre Ethnographic Centre in Sauris di Sopra documents local culture inside a traditional building. Exhibitions have their own opening arrangements; free market admission does not automatically include a museum visit.

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.
