Genoa’s medieval Xmas market

GENOA’S Christmas market is completely themed on the medieval era. 


It’s held on Piazza Caricamento, which is transformed into a medieval village in which all of the stallholders wear medieval clothes.

Held throughout December this annual 'Medieval Christmas' has stalls everywhere and even has a real farm with cows and donkeys that children are taught to milk. 


Visitors can buy local produce including wine, cheese, meats and handmade crafts.

There are shows to watch on the central stage, which include dancing, choirs, medieval storytelling and musical performances.

As well as the Christmas market, visitors can explore the city’s historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site. 

The regenerated port district has Europe's largest aquarium.
