Admission and costs
The squares and city walk are free. CAOS costs €5 full price, €3.50 reduced, for the Aurelio De Felice and Claudia Giontella Archaeological museums; free admission has specific eligibility rules. Refreshments and other Christmas attractions are separate.
Getting there
From Terni station’s bus terminal, CAOS lists routes 8/E624 or 2, 5, 6/E622. Start at Via Franco Molè 25, then continue towards the centre: this visit excludes the separate Segantini commercial village at Strada Maratta Bassa 91.

If it rains
Focus on the two CAOS museums at Via Franco Molè 25 instead of the squares. Regular opening is Thursday–Sunday, 10am–1pm and 4–7pm; the €5 ticket covers the collections rather than city attractions.

Christmas in everyday life

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.

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.
