Levico Terme Christmas Market 2026: Dates, the Open Days and the Habsburg Park
Levico Terme Christmas market 2026 in the Habsburg park: 21 November to 6 January, open on selected days before Christmas. The calendar, hours and the train.
Levico Terme holds its Habsburg Christmas market from 21 November 2026 to 6 January 2027.
It stands in the park of the old spa town.
The stalls stand among the trees of the Parco Asburgico, the Habsburg-era park laid out for the spa guests, open from 10:00 to 19:00, according to Visit Levico Terme. It is the market's 25th year. The setting is the reason to come: a wooded park rather than a town square.
There is a catch, though, and it decides the trip. Before Christmas the market opens only on chosen days, mostly weekends and the days around the 8 December holiday. From 26 December it opens every day to Epiphany.
Quick answer
Dates: 21 November 2026 to 6 January 2027, in the Parco Asburgico.
Hours: 10:00 to 19:00, and until 20:30 on 5, 6 and 7 December.
Open before Christmas (selected days only): 21, 22, 27, 28 and 29 November; 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 and 24 December.
Open every day: from 26 December to 6 January.
Where: the Habsburg park of Levico Terme, on the Valsugana line.
The trap: a weekday visit before Christmas. The market is probably closed.
The days it opens, and the days it does not
This is the one thing to get right. In November the market opens on 21, 22, 27, 28 and 29 only. In December, before Christmas, it opens on the 4th to the 8th, the 11th to the 13th, the 18th to the 20th, and on the 24th.
So most weekdays before Christmas, the park is quiet and the stalls are shut. The run around the Immacolata holiday, 4 to 8 December, is the longest open stretch of the early season. Then, from 26 December, the market opens every single day to 6 January. Plan a weekend, the 8 December bridge, or the days after Christmas.
A market in a Habsburg park
Levico Terme grew as a spa town under Austria, and the Parco Asburgico is its finest legacy, a large wooded park of exotic and native trees laid out in the 19th century. The market sets its wooden houses along the paths under the branches, lit after dark, which gives it a softer feel than a market on a hard square.
The town is small and the park is its centrepiece. A visit is the market, a walk under the trees, and the quiet of a spa town in winter.
Getting to Levico Terme by train
Levico is on the Valsugana line, the railway from Trento towards Bassano del Grappa and Venice. Regional trains run from Trento in about three quarters of an hour, through Pergine and the lakes of the valley, and Levico Terme has its own station.
From the station the park is a walk across the town. The Valsugana line is the car-free way in, and it also strings together the lakes of Caldonazzo and Levico for a longer day. Timetables are on the Trenitalia site.
Where to stay in Levico
The centre of Levico, around the park, puts the market and the spa on the doorstep in a quiet town.
By the lakes, Caldonazzo and Levico, is the choice for a walk by the water, a short ride or train stop away.
Or base yourself in Trento and come out for an open day. The Valsugana train makes it a three-quarter-hour trip, best timed for a weekend or the days after Christmas.
The mistake to avoid
Do not turn up on a weekday in late November or early December without checking the calendar. The market opens on selected days only before Christmas, and a Tuesday visit to the park can find it closed.
The second mistake is saving it for a quiet post-Christmas escape and then rushing. From 26 December it opens every day, the lakes are still, and the park is at its best with nowhere to hurry.
