Arezzo Christmas City 2026: Christmas Markets and a Weekend in Tuscany
From 14 November 2026 to 6 January 2027, Arezzo once again comes alive with lights, colours and festive atmosphere for Arezzo Città del Natale – Arezzo Christmas City, one of Tuscany’s most popular winter events.
Christmas markets, light shows, attractions and seasonal flavours transform the historic centre into the perfect destination for a Christmas weekend in Tuscany.
Arezzo Christmas Markets
At the heart of the event is Piazza Grande, one of the most beautiful squares in Tuscany.
Here you will find the popular Tyrolean Village, with traditional wooden chalets offering local crafts, Christmas gifts, food and seasonal specialities.
As evening falls, the atmosphere becomes even more magical, with festive lights and projections illuminating the historic buildings around the square.
Our suggestion? Arrive in Arezzo in the afternoon, take your time exploring the historic centre and stay until the Christmas lights come on.
Ferris Wheel, Ice Skating and Santa’s House
Arezzo Christmas City is about much more than Christmas markets.
In the Prato area, just a short walk from the historic centre, you will find the large Ferris wheel, an ice-skating rink and a variety of Christmas attractions and installations.
For families travelling with children, Santa’s House and the events held around the Medici Fortress make the experience even more special.
A Chance to Discover Arezzo
Between browsing the Christmas stalls and enjoying a hot chocolate, it is well worth setting aside a few hours to explore Arezzo itself.
Piazza Grande, the medieval streets, churches and historic palaces reveal a side of Tuscany that is particularly enjoyable away from the busy summer months.
And this is one of the things we love about winter: the chance to discover Tuscany’s towns and villages at a slower, more relaxed pace.
A Christmas Weekend at Il Casale di Lucullo
After a day spent among the lights and Christmas markets of Arezzo, you can leave the city behind and return to the peace and quiet of the Tuscan countryside.
Il Casale di Lucullo, in Lucignano, is an ideal base for combining a visit to Arezzo Christmas City with the discovery of the Valdichiana and its beautiful historic villages.
And for the Christmas season, we have prepared a little something extra for our guests.
For stays of at least 2 nights, we offer one complimentary session in our infrared sauna.
After a winter’s day exploring Arezzo, returning to the Casale and enjoying some warmth and relaxation is the perfect way to end the day.
Arezzo, Christmas markets, Tuscan villages and a few days away from everyday life.
Sometimes, a weekend is all you need.
