Event Information:
At the
traditional Christmas markets and in
Zürich’s shops, both locals and
visitors find inspiration for gifts
and can treat themselves to
delectable delicacies. The Christmas
circuses are as much a part of the
season as the New Year’s Eve Magic
with its legendary fireworks display
hosted by the Zurich Hoteliers’
Association. Thanks to the new
Christmas lighting display on
Bahnhofstrasse in the city center
and special “Night and Sunday
Shopping,” visitors to Zürich can
expect even more highlights during
the Advent season.
Although the Advent season does not
last very long, the event calendar
during this time is packed with
exciting activities such as the
enchanting “Lichterschwimmen”
floating candles display, Christmas
circuses, the Live On Ice skating
rink, the “Singing Christmas Tree,”
and the new light art on
Bahnhofstrasse.
A
unique shopping atmosphere can also
be experienced at the five
traditional Christmas markets.
Zürich’s oldest Christmas market in
the middle of the Old Town
guarantees a romantic ambience and
shopping bags bursting with
Christmas gifts. The 160 quaintly
decorated market stalls transform
the immense hall at Zürich’s Main
Railway Station into the “Zürich
Christ Child Market,” and the
centrally-located Christmas market
in the heart of the city also offers
a diverse range of toys, tasty
Christmas goodies and trendy fashion
accessories. The Christmas market at
Werdmühleplatz square is legendary
with its “Singing Christmas Tree.”
Choirs of both children and adults
take their place on the Christmas
tree which towers above the houses,
and spread festive cheer with their
repertoire of Christmas carols. And
at Bellevue this year, the
Sechseläuten square will be
transformed for the first time into
a Christmas market with traditional
and top-quality products offered at
15 market stands.
