Christmas markets in Italy are one of our favorite parts of, well, Christmas in Italy! Not only are they beautiful and atmospheric (and a great place to get that holiday shopping done), but they make for an especially fun way to get to know an area’s local traditions, delicacies and artisans. Since we love sustainable and immersive travel, we think that’s always a plus!

Before discussing the forces that move markets, it is important to know what constitutes a market and what they actually are. Markets are basically any group of buyers and sellers for a particular product (good) or service. There are highly organized markets, such as christmas markets or farmer's markets, but more commonly there are less organized markets, that encompass everything from food to skinny jeans.
