There is a period, between late November and December, when Abano Terme shines with a different light. The days are getting shorter, the air smells of wood and spices, and the tranquillity of the spa meets the anticipation of Christmas. It is the perfect time to indulge in a wellness break, immersed in an intimate and bright atmosphere, where every detail invites you to slow down.

At the Hotel Tritone, embraced by the warmth of the thermal waters, it is easy to be won over by the charm of this suspended time. Between a treatment and a rejuvenating bath, it only takes a short walk to reach the Christmas markets of Abano, with their lights, the scent of chocolate and mulled wine, and the local handicrafts that reflect Veneto traditions.

The magic of Abano Street Christmas

From December 6th to January 6th, the Parco Urbano Termale and the pedestrian zone are transformed into a real Christmas village. Abano Christmas Street envelops the town in a joyful atmosphere thanks to a rich program of events, shows and activities designed for all ages.

Craft markets enliven the park with unique items, gift ideas, traditional flavours and Christmas specialities. To complete the itinerary, Santa’s Village welcomes the little ones with creative workshops, special encounters and moments dedicated to their dreams. The days are filled with concerts, live shows and touring performances, while in the evening the scenic video mapping illuminating a historic building comes to life, providing a touch of open-air wonder.

An opportunity that adds warmth and magic to the stay, offering the chance to experience Abano at its most festive.

Magic and culture between Abano and Padua

Just a few minutes drive away, Padua offers an evocative cultural and festive setting. Squares are filled with lights and stalls, while events and art exhibitions come to life in historic buildings. These include the great exhibition dedicated to Modigliani, Picasso and the Voices of Modernity at Palazzo Zabarella: an unmissable opportunity to discover masterpieces of the early 20th century and combine spa relaxation with a touch of beauty and inspiration.

And for those visiting the city over the Immaculate Conception weekend, on December 7th Padua celebrates Sunday at the Museum: an entire day with free admission to many city museums, to immerse yourself in Art and History in an atmosphere of festivity and wonder.

A perfect opportunity to be inspired by beauty and find your own rhythm before returning to Abano. After a stroll through markets, museums and under the illuminations, nothing is more pleasant than returning to the warmth of the Tritone Hotel: the thermal pools with their warmth, the scent of warm wood in the sauna, the softness of a massage that melts away all tension.

A Christmas to enjoy slowly

Between the soft lights and the warmth of the thermal waters, Abano is a haven of peace where time passes more gently. Here, the countdown to Christmas is not a frenzy, but an invitation to rediscover balance, breathe in beauty and allow yourself to be lulled by the authentic wellness of the spa.
