FS Treni Turistici Gruppo Ferrovie dello Stato

The Christmas holidays are a time of magic, lights, and scents that envelop Europe in an enchanted atmosphere. Christmas markets, with their craft stalls and gastronomic specialties, are the beating heart of this centuries-old tradition.

They are places where time seems to slow down, allowing young and old to rediscover the warmth and joy of the holidays.

We at FS Treni Turistici Italiani are proud to contribute to this magic, creating unique journeys that transform the journey into an unforgettable experience.

Our Espresso trains have been designed to take you directly to the center of the festivities, allowing you to travel comfortably and stress-free to the most fascinating destinations.

The Espresso Assisi: Christmas Markets Edition is the most convenient way to explore the Christmas traditions of some of the most beautiful cities in Central Italy.

Assisi: The city of St. Francis transforms into an open-air nativity scene. Its Christmas market is famous for its spiritual atmosphere and the light projections that illuminate the facades of historic monuments, particularly the Upper Basilica of San Francesco. In addition to the stalls, you can admire numerous artistic nativity scenes that create a unique atmosphere.

Arezzo: Thanks to its renowned Tyrolean Village, Arezzo has become an unmissable destination. The spectacular Piazza Grande hosts characteristic wooden houses, where you can find crafts, Tyrolean gastronomic specialties, and the enchantment of the Big Lights Show, a light and color spectacle that enlivens the city.
