Zürich is full of beautiful Christmas markets! There are so many, that you would need a whole afternoon to explore them all. The first market that you need to visit is the Weihnachtsdorf at the Sechseläuten square near Bellevue. It’s a yearly market with a festive lighting decoration and plenty of stalls. The market is quite foodie, so consider going there for dinner. There are smaller markets just nearby, for example just at the Grossmünster and then inside the Niederdörfli, the old city of Zürich. The market and especially the lighting decorations are very charming. It’s going to feel very cozy. Walk around the old city, explore the many alleys to enjoy the wonderful Christmas lights. Very nice is the market at the Fraumünster square. This market is rather small but feels very joyous due to the many houses being lit up beautifully. Important points of interest with beautiful lights are at the Hotel Storchen, the Augustinergasse, Rennweg, Parade square and Bahnhofstrasse. The lightings along the Bahnhofstrasse are called Lucy and have been fascinating the locals for over 10 years. There is also the fairytale tram that provides a small city tour for the kids, accompanied by Santa and his angels. The tour starts at the Bellevue at where you also can buy tickets. Another major market is the Christkindl market at Zürich HB (Zurich main station). It’s a rather traditional one, full of stall that sell handmade products and Christmas gifts. Very fascinating is the large Christmas tree with the many Swarovski diamonds. The most beautiful lighting decoration you will however get at the National Museum at the Illuminarium. This market is very festive and modern, even the Christmas tree there is made out of wood. Enjoy the light show of the Art festival, which you will have to pay entry for.
