A Fairytale Christmas in Gubbio, Italy

#holidayseason Nestled in the hills of Umbria, the medieval town of Gubbio transforms into a winter wonderland each December, offering one of Italy’s most magical Christmas celebrations. Known for its ancient charm and stunning holiday displays, Gubbio is the perfect destination for those seeking a festive escape. 1. The World’s Largest Christmas Tree Gubbio is home to the largest Christmas tree in the world—an awe-inspiring display that lights up the slopes of Mount Ingino. Stretching over 2,000 feet tall, this “tree” is formed by hundreds of colorful lights, with a star that shines brightly over the town. The annual lighting ceremony is a beloved event that kicks off the holiday season in spectacular fashion. 2. A Festive Medieval Atmosphere Strolling through Gubbio’s narrow cobblestone streets feels like stepping back in time. The town is adorned with twinkling lights, wreaths, and decorations that highlight its medieval architecture. The Piazza Grande, the heart of Gubbio, hosts a charming Christmas market where visitors can browse handmade crafts, sip on mulled wine, and taste traditional Umbrian treats. 3. Unique Holiday Experiences Gubbio offers holiday activities for all ages, including an outdoor ice-skating rink and a life-sized Nativity scene. History lovers will enjoy the town’s museums, while families can hop on the Gubbio Express Christmas Train, which takes visitors on a festive tour of the illuminated streets. With its breathtaking lights, historic charm, and joyful spirit, Gubbio is a Christmas destination straight out of a storybook.
