If you have found a vacation rental in Florence and are planning a trip to the city in the run up to Christmas, one of the highlights and must-see attractions has to be its Christmas markets. Christmas markets are one of the best things about Christmas. They offer delicious foods, lovely hot drinks, a vibrant Christmassy atmosphere, shopping, festive music and fun in one place (because one can't say “under one roof” in this case, can they?). There are plenty of Christmas markets in Florence to choose from but one of the most famous is the Weihnachtsmarkt, located in piazza Santa Croce in Florence.
Named for, and based on, the style of Christmas markets you can find in Germany, it offers everything you would want from a typical festive market, all with a distinctive Tuscan twist on the model. Running from the end of November until a few days before Christmas, it is a great place to taste Tuscan products and food, mulled wine and beer from all over the rest of Europe as well

Made up of a cluster of cute little wooden houses in the scenic setting of Florence's most beautiful piazzas, in front of the stunning Santa Croce Basilica, it is super picturesque and perfect for getting some sweet photos for your family, groups of friends or as a couple.
It was brought to Florence, by the organisers of the Heidelberger market in 2003 and has returned every year since and become incredibly popular.
Come along and try the German beer or perhaps a warming cup of Gluhwein (mulled wine), browse over 50 cabins selling food and ceramics, ornaments, homemade toys and woollen goods, pick up some gifts and make memories that will last a lifetime.
