Piazza Navona, often hailed as Rome’s and perhaps the world’s most stunning Baroque square, lies in the heart of the city’s historic center. A vibrant hub for both locals and visitors, it captivates with its lively atmosphere, artistic treasures, and timeless charm.

Immerse yourself in the piazza's magic: sip espresso in chic cafés or dine in elegant restaurants, wander through cobbled alleys for hidden romantic views, and marvel at the masterpieces of Bernini and Borromini. Admire the grandeur of noble palaces from the Papal era, explore intimate churches brimming with artistic gems, and visit cultural institutions steeped in history.

During the Christmas season, Piazza Navona transforms into a dazzling spectacle with its historic Befana market. This cherished event traces its roots to ancient Roman winter solstice celebrations, embodied by the Befana, the kind-hearted old woman who brings sweets and gifts to children.

For over two centuries—originally in Piazza Sant’Eustachio and later here after Italy's unification—the market has been a beloved tradition. Locals and tourists alike flock to its vibrant stalls to discover unique Christmas treasures: artisanal crafts, festive decorations, nativity scenes, traditional toys, books, and delicious seasonal treats.

Adding to the festive spirit, Santa Claus, street performers, and puppet theaters create an enchanting atmosphere for visitors of all ages. The grand finale arrives on January 6th when the Befana herself appears, delighting children with gifts and treats and ensuring that the magic of Christmas lingers a little longer.

Whether it's for the art, the history, or the festive celebrations, Piazza Navona is an unforgettable experience in every season.
