Lapland, North Pole, Greenland: in the imagination of young and old Santa Claus dwell in one of these cold and unreachable places. However, at least for this 2019, it seems that it will conduct its "business" from our Peninsula. Yesterday, in fact, a Milano was inaugurated a Christmas village record-breaking, the largest in Italy ever built and among the largest in Europe: Dream of Christmas. A real theme park with routes, shows, animations and more.
The Christmas Village: between dream and reality
Ready, go, and it's time to wrap the gifts. In fact, very little is missing from the time of year most loved by children (and not only). And among the many key events of this Christmas 2019, the one in Milan stands out. In the'Racecourse of San Siro starting from 5th December the gates of the largest Christmas Village in Italy are open. A huge theme park of over 30 thousand square meters defined by the organizers "an enchanted place where fairy tales will come to life". An army of elfi, herds di reindeer, a toy factory it's a post office where to write our letters to Santa Claus. But not only.
Inevitable i Christmas markets, in perfect Nordic style, where artisans from all over Italy will exhibit their creations. Space for food, with street food among the protagonists of the whole park. In fact, inside the village there will be an area entirely dedicated to typical Christmas products. Small wooden houses and food stands ready to delight us with delicacies from everywhere! Exciting paths of light will illuminate our walks to be done on foot or aboard a characteristic colored train.
The routes
There are several useful routes available to fully enjoy the Dream of Christmas 2019. The main one will start from the large toy factory, and then move on to the elf house and the home of Santa Claus, ending with a visit to the reindeer shelter. Here we will be able to admire the big sled used by Santa Claus during the night of Christmas Eve. The second path is titled the World of Literature, divided into two areas: that of Writing room, in which children - with the help of the elves - will be able to write their own wish lists and that ofPost office, where the numerous letters for Santa Claus will be stamped and posted.
Another area not to be missed is that of village of the elves, which is unlikely to enter the list of most beautiful villages in Italy, but it certainly stands out among those with more "magic". Here the nice and funny helpers of Santa Claus and their little houses will frame our sections of Christmas shopping. There are several small shops where it will be possible to find the right gift for all those relatives and friends with difficult tastes.
Acrobats, jugglers and artists of all kinds complete the picture of this unmissable event, which will end the next 30th December.
