Christmas in Turin: markets, Luci d'Artista and nativity scenes on foot from the Mole

The installations change partly every year and are concentrated around Via Po, Via Garibaldi, Piazza Carignano and the streets of the centre. An updated map is published by the City of Turin and Turismo Torino at the start of the season.

An evening stroll from the Mole towards Piazza Castello and then along Via Garibaldi lets you see many of them without needing public transport.

During the Christmas period, several squares host markets and wooden chalets. Locations and dates vary from year to year, so it is worth checking the official events calendar.

Between stops, the historic cafes under the porticoes are the ideal place for a bicerin, Turin's signature drink of coffee, chocolate and cream.

After the evening out, the group returns to a period house with spacious rooms and a guest kitchen. Breakfast is included, along with a Welcome Bruschetta on arrival.

For December dates, message Kamen early: mention your arrival, departure and number of guests.
