Discover the Christmas charm of Chioggia with our complete holiday guide. From traditional stalls in the historic center to the lights decorating the canals, we'll guide you through the winter celebrations of Little Venice.

The heart of the festivities beats in Corso del Popolo, where the Christmas market offers artisanal products and local gastronomic specialties. The celebrations extend to Piazza Vigo, a panoramic spot overlooking Canal Vena, where you can admire traditional decorations and participate in cultural events. Along the illuminated streets, visitors can explore handcrafted nativity scenes and taste the typical baccalà alla vicentina in historic restaurants.
