The event
Christmas Garden comes to Italy for the first time after editions in Berlin, Barcelona and Paris. The official presentation speaks of more than ten million visitors across Europe for the format, which turns botanical gardens and parks into illuminated routes.
In Rome the route runs for about two kilometers among light installations and soundscapes, created with the contribution of international artists as well. The idea is to let light converse with the shapes of the plants and music with the dark, in a sequence of views that changes at every bend of the path.
The trail is designed for visitors of all ages and stays open for almost two months, until January 10, 2027, across the holiday season.
Where it takes place: Orto Botanico di Roma
The Orto Botanico is at Largo Cristina di Svezia 23/A, in the Trastevere district, at the foot of the Janiculum. The dedicated listing is Rome Botanical Garden.
