Ho, Ho, Ho, the Holiday Season is here! Let us visit three Christmas Villages in Lazio that will bring us back to childhood and breathe the glittering festive atmosphere. We will meet Santa Claus on the back of a pony, take the Christmas train, admire suggestive nativity scenes, or live an unforgettable experience inside a castle by the sea.
The Magic of Christmas at the Castle of Santa Severa
The Magic of Christmas at the Castle of Santa Severa – FB @CastellodiSantaSevera
The Castle of Santa Severa will be transformed into a magic Christmas village by the sea. Let us have fun at the ice rink, ride the horses of the old-style carousel, and admire the Christmas trees and artistic nativity scenes. We will buy cotton candy, visit the Christmas market, witness magic show and light performances or attend interesting workshops. The feast will be enlivened by choirs and a band of bagpipers.

Artena, the Village of the Nativity Scenes
The Christmas Express Train in Artena – Facebook @artenacittapresepe
Worth experiencing is an enchanted journey throughout the glittering alleys of Artena, where over fifty Nativity Scenes from all over Italy will be displayed! These extraordinary works tell the story of Christmas, its traditions, and ancient flavours. The village will also host craft markets and stands selling local products, all accompanied by live music and street artists. In Artena, we will be able to attend workshops and take the Christmas Express Train to reach the upper part of the historic centre. Find out more…
