More information on Mercato del Porcellino

Among the many cultural events in Florence is the annual Heidelberger Weihnachtsmarkt, or Heidelberg Christmas Market, which takes place in piazza Santa Croce. Vendors come primarily from Heidelberg, Germany as well as other European countries such as France, The Netherlands, Austria and Great Britain. Come taste delicious beer, candies, mulled wine, sausages, gingerbread, crêpes, and other delights. There are numerous little wooden stands selling everything from heavy-duty outdoor jackets (from EUR 40) to candy by the kilo (EUR 7/kg) and from English porcelain to small-scale beer gardens with wine, sausages and beers.
