Do you want to spend Christmas in Rome? The Eternal City has numerous places of interest, activities and things to enjoy.
The Christmas festivities transform the capital by immersing it in a magical, suspended atmosphere, with the illuminated streets and the great monuments as a backdrop.
On the day of the Immaculate Conception, the festive period officially starts and the countdown to Christmas begins.
Christmas trees are lit next to Rome’s most important monuments and buildings. Just like the ones we can admire next to the Colosseum, in Piazza San Pietro or in Piazza Venezia.
Another unmissable tradition is the nativity scenes, observed in grand style with truly breathtaking arrangements and attention paid to the smallest detail.
One of the prettiest nativity scenes is the one at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, where a marble scene sculpted by Arnolfo di Cambio is kept.
