Arco Christmas market — Arco
November–January · 10:00–19:00 (Sat to 20:00; shorter on 24 and 31 Dec and 6 Jan) · Old town squares and streets
What you find
Wooden huts fill the squares of Arco's old town with Christmas decorations, gifts and Garda Trentino food: mulled wine, Bohemian gnocchi, polenta with goulash and strauben with cranberry jam. The historic façades below the castle cliff are lit at dusk, with street shows, concerts, a petting zoo, nativity scenes and children's workshops.
Getting to Arco
Leave the A22 at Rovereto Sud/Lago di Garda Nord and follow the SS240 towards Riva, turning off for Arco; from the north you can also exit at Trento Nord and drive down the Sarca valley on the SS45bis. The nearest station is Rovereto, with Trentino Trasporti buses to Arco, Riva and Torbole. The Sarca cycle path runs from Arco to the lake at Torbole.
The Caneve car park is the usual starting point for the Sarca cycle path to Torbole; the Carmellini car park is another common base for rides and walks.
Market days can move for holidays and events; check with the comune before a special trip. Source: gardatrentino.it · checked 2026-09-26.
