Venice Christmas Markets 2026
Venice has two Christmas markets, both with free entry. In the historic centre, wooden chalets with art crafts and food fill Campo Santo Stefano between Rialto and the Accademia (23 November - 24 December in the 2025 edition): small but romantic. The bigger one is in Mestre on Piazza Ferretto, with chalets, a tree, lights and an ice rink (21 November - 28 December in 2025), easier to reach and more spacious than anything in the centre.
