This time of year, Catania is bustling with life - not just because of the tourists extending their time in the pleasant, warm weather, but also because the spirit of Christmas is in the air.

The city is adorned with decorations, and almost every corner features a Christmas market. These markets are so cozy and full of the holiday spirit that you wish they could last forever.

Some of the decorations include the standard Christmas trees and stars, but also the cookie from Shrek, plush dogs, a snowman, a polar bear, and all sorts of other adorable creatures. Each market has its own unique style, and I highly recommend exploring them all if you’re there.

The effort put into making the stalls look beautiful is evident, and the selection of vendors is carefully curated to ensure that everything you buy has added value.

From farmers selling their own honey, dairy products, and hot peppers, to handmade tablecloths, jewelry, ceramics, and Christmas ornaments everything is crafted by hand.

Adding to the festive mood are the red carpets, which not only bring a sense of coziness but also make you feel special ⭐
