Photo diary: Christmas lights in Vicenza

December 4, 2016

Since it's that time of the year again, I want to share a little Christmas post, a photo diary of our visit to Italian town of Vicenza. When it comes to Christmas markets, decorations, twinkly lights and festive spirit, first thing that crosses my mind is Vienna, second thing giant gingerbreads and mulled wine on German markets. It turns out that Italy as well have some magic to offer in December. We visited Vicenza, situated in the Veneto region, as a day trip or rather an afternoon trip from Padua, without any specific plan. We just wandered around the center, from one of Andrea Palladio's renaissance buildings to another, approving of Italian style decorations, wandering at Italian style Christmas markets (you can buy both sweets and plastic kitchen utensils there), and when it got too cold, we found a cozy caffe whose name I can't remember, where we had muffins with hot chocolate and a spremuta (freshly pressed orange juice). Here are some photos we made that afternoon, I hope they'll add a bit of sparkle to your festive mood.

Cake o'clock. These got messed up in transport a bit, but they're still the prettiest little cakes! One tiramisu, one chocolate with apricot marmalade, two pistachios, one dark chocolate with crispy biscuit, one cheesecake with raisins. What's your flavor? 😀 @pasticceria_racca

Some things are worth waking up early for 💫 From when we hiked in the hills near Samobor, and the snow transformed the usual landscape into something magical.

In case you missed my last post, I wrote down all the things I liked in the last year, this pretty city being one of them. If Sunday evening isn't for reading blogs, then what is?🥃
(P.S.- this is Colmar, very Hans Christian Andersen or Hayao Miyazaki style)
