As the holiday season unfolds, the historic center of San Marino comes alive with the magic of “The Christmas of Wonders – A Sweeter World.” This enchanting celebration, starting on December 23 and lasting until January 7, promises a delightful experience for both visitors and residents alike.
The focal point of this festive edition is the mesmerizing House of Sweet Hearts in Piazza della Libertà. This edible wonderland, crafted from delicacies, invites everyone to capture sensational memories through souvenir photos. An eccentric chocolatier orchestrates an exhilarating show of lights, sounds, and special effects every half hour from 17:00 to 18:30. As a bonus, the external walls of surrounding buildings become canvases for projecting splendid Christmas images, enhancing the uniqueness of the event.
Don’t miss the charm of the Christmas Markets along Via Eugippo and Via Donna Felicissima, open even on December 25 from 14:30 onwards. The Christmas of Wonders offers more than just markets; visitors can send letters to the North Pole at the magical Chocolate Factory in Campo Bruno Reffi, where Santa Claus awaits until December 31.
For those yearning for a taste of Christmas magic on ice, the Ice Park in Cava dei Balestrieri beckons skaters to a dazzling experience. Meanwhile, the Dolce Mostra by Master Pastry Chef Roberto Rinaldini, the chocolate sculpture exhibition in Galleria Cassa di Risparmio, and the Big Tree in Piazzale Domus Plebis create visual delights that are perfect for selfies.
An evening stroll is highly recommended to bask in the radiant lights illuminating the historic center. The Christmas of Wonders continues until January 7, offering incredible attractions and shows that will animate the Old Town of the Republic of San Marino.
