The magic of Christmas on Lake Como: markets and lights reflected on water

Christmas on Lake Como is a unique experience, blending the breathtaking charm of its landscapes with an atmosphere brimming with emotion.
In addition to the traditional illuminations, Christmas markets, and festive events that enliven the city, there’s an unmissable opportunity to experience this magic from a fresh perspective: a private boat tour.
Gliding over water lit by Christmas decorations is a breathtaking experience, turning an ordinary evening into an unforgettable memory.

A fairy-tale atmosphere in Como

Every year, the city of Como dresses up for Christmas with sparkling lights, markets, and a variety of events for both young and old. The beating heart of the festivities is Piazza Perretta, where the wooden chalets of the Christmas market offer handcrafted products, unique gift ideas, and delicious local food and wine.

Next to the market, the ice skating rink in Piazza Cavour and artistic light projections illuminating the city’s historic buildings create a postcard-perfect atmosphere. Yet, it’s from the water that you can capture the truest essence of this magic.
