Christmas in Turin: markets, lights and New Year's Eve

From late November to Epiphany the centre of Turin lights up: light installations, markets and concerts, all within walking distance of Portico Garibaldi.

Don't miss

• Luci d’Artista: light works by contemporary artists in the streets and squares of the centre, from autumn to January. Many are along the walks between via Garibaldi, Piazza Castello and via Po.
• Christmas village in piazza Solferino: stalls with decorations, gifts and local specialities, about 5 minutes on foot. In 2025 it was open from 5 December to 6 January.
• New Year's Eve in the square: the city celebrates with concerts and outdoor events.
• Historic cafés and chocolate: a bicerin at Caffè Al Bicerin or a hot chocolate under the arcades of piazza San Carlo.

The 2026 dates of markets and events have not all been announced yet: check Turismo Torino (turismotorino.org) and the City of Turin website before you travel.

Why stay at Portico Garibaldi

• Everything on foot: Piazza Castello and piazza Solferino 5 minutes away, piazza San Carlo 7. No car, no ZTL.
• A warm and quiet retreat: a period studio for 2 people, with exposed beams and a wrought-iron bed, overlooking the inner courtyard.
• Arrive whenever you like, with self check-in.
