Christmas Market in Piazza Navona
Piazza Navona

With no fewer than three famous fountains, the great oval of Piazza Navona, built in the 15th century on the site of a Roman amphitheatre, makes a fine setting for the annual Christmas Market. Held over the Christmas period and into the New Year, stalls are set out offering gifts and tasty seasonal sweets such as biscotti, torrone (nougat with almonds and honey) and panettone (a traditional Italian seasonal cake). Santa Claus puts in an appearance and children can visit him in his grotto. He has a rival in the shape and form of Befana, a good witch, who doles out presents to well-behaved children. A holiday atmosphere pervades the old square which, with its many restaurants and cafes, is always abuzz with activity no matter what time of the year it is.

Celebrate New Year's Eve on a breathtaking terrace, with a unique panoramic view all over ancient Rome!

Domus Colosseo apartment is within walking distance from many of the initiatives that will be held during New Year's Eve. From its terraces you will be able to see the traditional fireworks that take place all over the city. Already from the week of Christmas and during all the celebration period up to the first week of January, in the city it will be possible to visit the various Christmas markets in the squares (the most beautiful one is in Piazza Navona) with the offers of typical food for the dinner of New Year's Eve.
During the evening of San Silvestro in Rome, like every year, in Piazza del Quirinale a greeting concert of classical music will be organised with the presence of the President of the Italian Republic and many important personalities, who will wait for the arrival of midnight to cheer with all the guests to the new year.
The first days of January, at least up to the Epiphany, remain one of the most suggestive period to visit the city of Rome; in fact, although the night and the relative celebrations of New Year's Eve are over, this winter period offers the spectacle of the roman squares with the colours of the Christmas markets together with the possibility to profit from the last events dedicated to the celebration of the new year.
