Florence Ice Village: the Christmas village at the Fortezza da Basso in the heart of Florence will be open to the public until mid-January. Among the main attractions is the large 55-metre-high Ferris wheel (Florence Eye) with a breathtaking view of the Florence skyline. And then there's also the ice skating rink which is among the largest in Europe. The mayor of Florence Dario Nardella expressed himself as follows on the large holiday village. “After last year's success, the Ferris wheel is back at the Fortezza da Basso with the Christmas village. Christmas is approaching and Florence becomes even more magical!”.

Curiosity: the Christmas tree will be illuminated by the energy of 4 bikes on which people of all ages can pedal. A clear choice green and eco-friendly. In truth, all the energy used for the Florence Ice Village comes from renewable sources; moreover, ecological solutions were chosen for the attractions too, such as the LED lights for the large Ferris wheel and the latest generation ice machines for the ice cream ring around Swan Lake.
