Tired of the usual little thoughts to bring back home or classic souvenirs? We agree with you. December is the richest month for parties and gifts, why not take advantage of it? This is why we have selected some of the many Christmas markets that have been organized between Naples and the province. Here you will find unique pieces, children of local art, and for all budgets. NAPLES An obligatory stage in S. Gregorio Armeno, in the old town center, to breathe the pure Christmas atmosphere thanks to the ceramics workshops that create the nativity scenes. In the streets and in the neighboring alleys you will find artisans of all kinds, from costume jewelry to food. Piazza Dante A little more ethnic market, with items coming from various parts of the world, and artists' stands with original and design creations. Ponte di Tappia (via Toledo) Pure craft market. Here you find everything, rigorously created by hand. You can buy items for all ages, from newborns to grandparents waiting for you at home. National Railway Museum of Pietrarsa From November 30th to January 6th at the Pietrarsa Museum, among the ancient locomotives, the Christmas Market is open, with more than 60 wooden houses that host as many artisans.
