Lake Como Christmas Markets! 🎄✨❄️ Christmas in Italy 🇮🇹

Welcome to our FIRST EVER mid-region special edition episode: The Lake Como Christmas Markets in Italy (Citta dei Balocchi)! In this episode we take a small break from our Sicily series as we are in the Lombardy region of Italy to share the magic of the Lake Como Christmas Markets, where we introduce some very special guests, sip on mulled wine and take in the festivities of Christmas in Northern Italy, Europe!
Mercatino di Natale della Città dei Balocchi (Toys’ Town Christmas Market) includes a Magic Light Festival as the city is transformed into an en plein air gallery as an essential element for conveying tourism, culture, social events in the winter. The traditional Christmas Tree of Light is an imposing natural fir tree illuminated by thousands of lights. Christmas lakefront and Christmas market, a skating rink and traditional Ferris wheel over the Christmas garden to look at the city from above while admiring the lake and the city!

About Us:
When we were in our early 20’s, chasing our own dreams of living in Europe, we met one night at a pub in Florence...11 months later, we were married! Having been together for 4 years now, we have lived & worked on 3 different continents & even on a cruise ship!
We moved back to Italy to live out one of our biggest dreams - to pull off the Ultimate Italian Road Trip, traveling to all 20 regions of Italy by the end of 2022! We will be showcasing the impressive diversity all 20 regions of Italy have to offer - from the history, architecture, art, culture, food, traditions and so much more! 🇮🇹

Wrong way to eat liquorice stick , you should not break the stick, just chew a long , let it one piece. It take hours to finish it, it's a good way to stop smoking cigarettes.

[@TheGlobalExpats]

That makes a lot more sense... It was just so hard! 😂

[@jaytrees7304]

Oh dear ... Brits with Italian ancestry in Italy. Usually not a good thing to see. 🤦

[@kausikbarua4732]

I really Don't have any big fat American dream ,but i do have a dream to go to Italy and explore the coutryside there! 😍🥹
