Mercatini di Natale Salo

The Christmas markets of Salò occupy the elegant waterfront promenade and historic centre of the Golfo di Salò throughout December. Stalls sell handcrafted gifts, regional products, mulled wine, and seasonal sweets against the backdrop of the Liberty-era palazzos that line the lakefront. The setting — the most beautiful Belle Époque waterfront on the western Brescian shore — gives Salò's markets a particularly refined atmosphere. The mild microclimate of the Golfo di Salò, sheltered by the Rocca di Manerba headland, keeps temperatures comfortable even in December. A lovely combination of Christmas atmosphere and one of Lake Garda's most charming lakeside towns.
