What to do in Liguria in December? 2022 is preparing to sound its final chimes, and it’s time to organize some outings before the end of the year. Some instinctively associate December with skiing, while others take advantage of the beautiful Christmas atmospheres to discover the most beautiful Italian towns and the villages that enrich our peninsula. And the opportunities are certainly not lacking: think of the Christmas holidays, but also, for example, the Immaculate Conception long weekend. Liguria, for its part, holds its own with a consistently high-level tourist offer, thanks to its strategic position. In the region, there are, for example, mountains where you can put on your skis: think of the ski area of Santo Stefano d’Aveto, in the province of Genoa, or that of Monesi di Triora, in the province of Imperia. And while many are concerned with waxing their skis, others continue to sail, often in fascinating winter regattas: just think of the Ponente Winter Championship, or the West Liguria Winter Championship, or the Imperia Winter Regatta. And for those who want to stay halfway, between sea and mountains? Let’s see the events in Liguria for December 2022!
Events in Genoa for December 2022
In Genoa, in December, there is a unique atmosphere. Walking through the streets of the center, among the narrow alleys and the elegant streets connecting the wonderful Palazzi dei Rolli, the Christmas decorations delight tourists.
Waiting for them in these weeks are several events. The Teatro Pubblico Ligure hosts, for example, the series of meetings “The Ports of Stories,” which on Thursday, December 1, will welcome the Swedish writer, as well as sailor and man of the sea, Björn Larsson. The theme of his talk will be “My Ports. From Gilleleje in Denmark to Vilagarcìa in Spain,” during which he will reveal the secrets and charms of a particular place like the port.
On December 10, it will be possible to participate in the tour “Faber’s Genoa,” a music-themed walk in the Old Town, obviously following in the footsteps of Fabrizio De André: the starting point is the museum dedicated to the Genoese school of songwriters, namely Viadelcampo29rosso.
Then there will be no shortage of musical events: among these, the highlight is the December 15 appointment with Daniele Silvestri, who will stop at the Teatro Ivo Chiesa with his tour.
Christmas 2022 in Liguria
December is above all the month of Christmas, in the minds of the little ones as well as the older ones. So among the events not to be missed for December 2022 in Liguria, there must also be the Christmas markets and other Christmas-themed events. Among these, for example, the offer of Camogli stands out, which with its famous nativity scenes rightfully enters the itinerary for a tour of Liguria.
As for the Christmas markets, the offer is abundant. There are the Genoese markets, in the center, distributed among streets and squares, along the shopping streets. And again, among the most famous are the Christmas markets of Casella, or again, of Rapallo, leading to the already mentioned Santo Stefano d’Aveto, not by chance among the most romantic villages in Liguria: here, as elsewhere, visitors will be delighted especially by typical gastronomic products, from Sassello nougat to focaccia.
Genoa and Liguria are always destinations rich in ideas and attractions, and we at the Marina Porto Antico tourist port in Genoa are always available to welcome boating friends, even those who set sail in winter!
