VIP Limousine: the chauffeur-driven car rental that takes you back to when you were a child

If you still haven't decided which market to visit, no problem. We're here to recommend the ones that manage to bring us back to childhood a little.

Let's start with the oldest and most famous of them all, hoping that reading this article will get you in the Christmas spirit. Ready? Go!

The “Oh Bej! Oh Bej!” Fair: over 500 years of magic

The tradition of Christmas markets in Milan was born back in 1510 thanks to the “Oh Bej! Oh Bej!” Fair, originally created to welcome Giacomo de Medici to the city.

The papal envoy charged with raising the Church's name in today's fashionable city, brought with him many gifts to distribute to the children, who kept repeating in dialect “Oh Bej!” (Oh beautiful!).

The event was so successful that it became an important tradition that has endured to this day. In fact, although more than 500 years have passed since that day, the market continues to renew itself from Christmas to Christmas, keeping up with the times.

It is precisely thanks to the continuous implementation of novelties that the citizens of Milan do not tire of ushering in the Christmas season with a festival that can offer the right compromise between tradition and modernity.

But the market we just recommended to you is just the tip of the iceberg, that is, the one that started a real culture of the phenomenon, which has been able to expand far and wide between the city and the hinterland.

The Village of Wonders

A more recent market, but one that has impressed us every year since its founding (2008) is definitely "The Village of Wonders" in Porta Venezia. Compared to the previous option, this one manages to be even more fairy-tale-like thanks to its main attractions:

• Santa Claus's house, where children can meet Santa Claus and deliver their letters to him;
• The Elves' creative workshops, which offer recreational activities for the little ones, such as building decorations or decorating cookies;
• The large skating rink divided into two areas (for experts and for families) that becomes extremely impressive as the sun goes down thanks to the impressive lighting.

In short, if you want to recapture some of that Christmas spirit that made your eyes sparkle with joy once upon a time, this is definitely the place for you. Especially if you will be accompanied by your children.

The market in Piazza Duomo in Milan

With the market in Piazza Duomo, we are certainly faced with the second main event of the Milan Christmas season.

Its location, right in the historic center of the city, makes it a favorite destination for tourists. This is also why you can find among the stalls, handicrafts of international origin that feature original and unique decorative items.

The perfect destination if your goal is mainly to hoard gifts to impress your friends.

The main attraction of this market is, of course, the Christmas Tree in Piazza Duomo, set up during the period from late November to the conclusion of Epiphany.

But what to do if you don't like very crowded places, but you really don't want to give up the atmosphere of a great Christmas market?

The answer is simple: “Just move to the hinterland.”

The best markets in the Hinterland

If you want to escape the city Christmas chaos and seek a softer and more intimate atmosphere, we are ready to recommend two excellent alternatives.

The first is definitely the one in Sesto San Giovanni, which is very popular with families for the activities dedicated to the little ones, and the abundance of handcrafted and gastronomic products perfect for gift ideas.

The alternative can be found instead in Lainate. The place does not emphasize gastronomy as much as the previous one, but it is equipped with a skating rink that, although it has little to do with the one installed in Milan, still looks like a smaller and prettier alternative.

What's more, the Lainate market offers a wide variety of Christmas shows and choirs-a boon to get your fill of the Christmas spirit in anticipation of the upcoming holidays!

We hope our article has given you some original ideas to spend one or more evenings immersed in magic. Now all you have to do is choose your favorite destinations and book your car rental with driver from VIP Limousine.
