Christmas World Rome Review: Is It Worth Visiting?

If you already know me a little, it is no surprise that I am more of a summer than a winter person, and my mom and I have a yearly tradition of counting down the days until spring. The only thing that really keeps me going during this time of year is, of course, nothing less than Christmas. Christmas is, especially for someone who lives abroad, truly something to look forward to, and I am always ready to immerse myself in the Christmas spirit.

This year in Rome, in Villa Borghese, you can find Christmas World, a Christmas village that is, according to their website, the biggest in Europe.

On the 13th of December, my friend and I went to visit Christmas World to have a day filled with holiday joy and, of course, to review it.

You can visit Christmas World in Rome until the 11th of January, and by the end of this post you will know whether I think it is worth going or not.
