Christmas World

Explore la bellezza of Italy.

Each year, from late November through early January, Christmas World transforms Villa Borghese into a dazzling celebration of holiday magic. This much-loved event brings the spirit of Christmas to life in one of the Rome’s most beautiful and historic parks.

Visitors step into an enchanting world where twinkling lights, festive music, and the scent of roasted chestnuts fill the air. The event is designed as a journey through Christmas traditions around the globe—each area of the park represents a different country, complete with themed decorations, food, and cultural displays. From the cozy markets of Germany to the snowy charm of the North Pole, every corner offers a new delight for all ages.

Children can meet Santa in his storybook village, glide across the open-air ice rink, or marvel at the life-sized nativity scenes that capture the heart of Italian holiday tradition. Adults will love exploring the artisan stalls, sampling gourmet treats, and sipping hot chocolate as the city lights sparkle below from the Pincio Terrace.

What makes Christmas World truly special is its blend of Roman elegance and global festivity. Against the backdrop of fountains, marble statues, and umbrella pines, the event becomes a celebration not just of Christmas, but of culture, art, and joy shared across borders.
