Christmas is one of the best times for visiting Rome, considering to be “ the capital of the world”. Like most of the European countries during the winter time it is really cold and snowy, but in Rome, the climate is warm and snow is almost unknown there. Also it is very beautiful and romantic, while walking on the shiny streets, where everything is decorated with Christmas lights and toys from any little tree to the biggest buildings in the city. It generates energy and good mood, and even to those that feel bad.
The Christmas period in Rome starts from December 8th with its festival and Christmas market. Rome is considered to be one of the best places for buying Christmas presents. The Christmas market in Piazza Navona is very famous with its rich choice of everything related with the celebrated feast. You can buy components for your own nativity scene, such as sweets, wooden toys and a big number of goodies.
In the city there are hundreds of little food shops providing variety of baked sweets, pizza made in a perfect way, and so many meals, made for the special occasion. If you are looking to buy kitsch souvenirs, you can do this anywhere near Vatican.
If you are planning a Christmas vacation, Rome is the perfect place for such occasions. Thus it is very cheap to book a room in some of the Hilton hotels in Rome. During the coldest season they offer packages that cost less than if you do try to book during the summertime. Plus you will avoid crowds on the attractions in Rome, so you can even do some sightseeing.
