Now I've gotten really, Christmas is going to invade in the best sense of the term the houses and especially the spirit of all of us with his joyous and unique atmosphere, which really has no equal in the world. Cities throughout Italy, from smaller towns to the metropolis, from villages to places most people, is becoming prepared for the arrival of Christmas with the help of sparkling decorations, decorations of all shapes and colored lights.

Where the operation of "make up" Christmas always manages Milan is particularly well here, spend the holidays of Christmas in Milan it could be certainly a good idea. After December 25, you can calmly devote to the many exciting initiatives that here since, especially cultural (including exhibitions and shows there really is spoiled for choice), all of shouting and international appeal.

But first, to get to December 25 with the right spirit, nothing better than to go shopping or just walking through the streets of the old daylight: from the Corso Vittorio Emanuele to Corso Europa, from Piazza Duca d'Aosta to San Babila where there is to get lost in the infinity of stalls and Christmas markets, first of all, by tradition and history, is that of Oh Bej! Oh Bej, Milan Christmas fair par excellence, which opens between the Catholic and the streets near the Castello Sforzesco two days before 7 December, the Feast of St. Ambrose, the Patron Saint of Milan, which in this date is celebrated with the famous canon Concert at the Teatro della Scala: this year is the turn of a great classic which is the "Carmen" by Bizet.

As always impossible to take walk at the Christmas Village in the gardens of Via Palestro or at the Artisans Market at Brera with the many exhibitors that will delight the gentle sex, perennial search for the "gift" to be put under the tree. If you do not want to reduce last-minute purchase, we suggest a visit to Argentina market square, near Loreto, because that is from December 1 to 14 fine crafts artists are exhibited in the eleven stalls set up by association "The Mill Art".

But it is where is the symbol of Milan, the Piazza del Duomo, that Christmas is expressed in all its splendor. How? With a tree that rivals the annual enthroned at Rockefeller Center in New York, famous but great .. half! Yes, we're talking about a record-fir, a Christmas Tree top 50 meters (20 more than in St. Peter's) and 50 wide, coming from the Alps and strictly ecological, and because it is intended to be still down (after a careful selection made by the Forest Service) and because it is a hundred thousand lights illuminated LED low power consumption, as well as about ten thousand flowers decorated with elegant white flowers.

A Christmas in Milan in a way like that is presented at the start with all the credentials to give you the memorable Feast. So what to do? Too easy, book and go! b&b and hotels in Milan for every taste and need are certainly in, so ... Merry Christmas!
