Be sure to keep an eye out for regional delicacies like vin brul\u00e9 and apple strudel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s all very romantic, but there\u2019s also plenty of fun for kids. Families should make a beeline for the Children\u2019s Market, with a puppet theatre, miniature train and a merry-go-round. The heart of the market is Piazza Walther and it winds its way through town, so there\u2019s plenty of chances to get lost in the pretty laneways.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-christmas-markets-in-rome\">Christmas markets in Rome<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7DmR33KvUA\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\">\r\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\r\n<div style=\"flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\r\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\r\n<div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\r\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7DmR33KvUA\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A post shared by VISIT ITALY \u00ae (@visititalyofficial)<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\">\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>All festive roads lead to Rome &#8211; the Piazza Navona to be exact.
