Our journey begins at the Rathausbrücke, offering a beautiful view of the Limmat River surrounded by twinkling lights. From here, we head to the Grossmünsterplatz Christmas Market, located in front of Zurich’s iconic Grossmünster Church. Fun fact: The Grossmünster Church, dating back to the 12th century, is a symbol of the Protestant Reformation in Switzerland.
Next, we visit the Münsterhof Christmas Market, nestled in one of Zurich’s oldest and most picturesque squares. The half-timbered buildings and elegant stalls create a cozy and historic atmosphere.
The tour then takes us to the Zürcher Weihnachtsallee, a festive street lined with beautifully illuminated trees. Known as the “Christmas Avenue,” this location is a favorite for photos and holiday strolls.
We continue to the Zurich Main Station Christmas Market, one of the largest indoor Christmas markets in Europe. Fun fact: This market features a towering Christmas tree decorated with over 7,000 Swarovski crystals, making it a must-see highlight of the season.
Our next stop is the Werdmühleplatz Christmas Market, famous for the Singing Christmas Tree, a stage shaped like a giant tree where choirs perform festive songs. This unique feature has made Werdmühleplatz one of Zurich’s most beloved Christmas spots.
Finally, we end our tour at the Hirschenplatz Christmas Market, located in Zurich’s Niederdorf district. Known for its intimate and local feel, this market offers traditional Swiss gifts and delicious treats like raclette and mulled wine.
