Vigo Christmas Lights
Luces de Navidad de Vigo
A massive Christmas light display that has become a sensation in Spain, with millions of LED lights across the city center, plus a giant Christmas tree, a Ferris wheel and a market.
Since the 2010s, Vigo's city government has steadily expanded its Christmas lights. Each year millions of LED bulbs and hundreds of kilometers of light strings illuminate hundreds of streets in the city center. Spanish media call it one of Europe's most spectacular Christmas light displays, and it draws millions of visitors each year. The highlights cluster around Príncipe Street, Puerta del Sol and Policarpo Sanz Street: giant Christmas trees dozens of meters tall, oversized gift boxes, snowmen and a Ferris wheel, plus a Christmas market. The lighting ceremony is usually held in mid to late November. Weekend evenings are packed, so visit on a weekday and use public transport.
