This is an article title: "Una Mestre da vivere", in a tourist magazine. The article describes Christmas events planned for the city.
The options I was considering were: "A Mestre to Experience", or "...to Enjoy", but I am not convinced. Any suggestions?

a mestre to relish
I am thinking of "una mestre da godere".
Enjoy and experience are also possibilities.

Deciding on the best translation of the title of such an article is often very subjective (hence medium confidence level). I personally would move away from a literal translation here, as the aim of the article is to attract people to read it and to visit Mestre for Christmas.
