Hotels near Piazza Cesare Battisti

Piazza Cesare Battisti hosts the market's food area, with around 20 additional chalets serving traditional Trentino dishes. Here visitors can try canederli (bread dumplings), polenta with cheese or mushrooms, sausages with sauerkraut, apple strudel and hot drinks such as vin brulé (mulled wine).

On 20 and 21 November and 7 December 2026, the food area has extended hours from 10am to 9pm, according to the Dolomiti tourism portal.

The square is a lively meeting point in the evenings, with tables and standing areas where locals and visitors gather. It is the best place to taste the region's food at the Trento Christmas market.

Pro Tip: Try canederli in broth or with melted butter, a classic Trentino dish, and warm up with a cup of vin brulé or hot apple juice.
