CHRISTMAS IN TRANSAPPENNINICA
This will be the third and last journey on board the “Transappenninica 2018” project, the journey on a historic train from Bologna to Porretta Terme along the ancient Porrettana railway line, and will be on the occasion of the launch of the Christmas events on December 8th and 9th. The animation scheduled on the train is musical.
It will also be a great opportunity to visit the historic thermal town through guided tours to cribs (very important in our area) and Christmas markets.
Once in Porretta Terme you can choose and pick your unique Christmas gifts. Not only quality objects, but also food and wine, thermal and wellness..
