ZRH:
Zurich’s Enchanting Christmas Markets Open with Alpine Magic

As the first snow dusts Zurich’s cobblestone streets, the city transforms into a winter wonderland straight from a storybook. On November 21, 2024, the famed Zurich Christmas Markets swing open their wooden chalet doors, filling the air with the scent of mulled wine (Glühwein), roasted chestnuts, and cinnamon-spiced lebkuchen.

A Fairytale in the Heart of the City

The main market at Zurich Hauptbahnhof is a showstopper—home to Europe’s largest indoor Christmas tree, adorned with over 7,000 Swarovski crystals. Beneath its glittering branches, 150 vendors sell hand-carved wooden toys, Swiss chocolate, and intricate glass ornaments.

For a cozier vibe, head to the Dörfli Market in Niederdorf (Old Town), where lantern-lit alleys lead to artisan stalls selling woolen mittens and vintage nutcrackers. Meanwhile, Sechseläutenplatz by the opera house offers a modern twist with its "Singing Christmas Tree"—a pyramid-shaped stage hosting daily carol performances.

Beyond the Markets: Ice Skating & Fondue Cruises

• Ice Rink at Dolder Grand: Glide under fairy lights with panoramic city views.
• Fondue Tram: Book a spot on Zurich’s iconic "Cheese Tram" (a moving fondue party!).
• Lake Zurich Night Cruise: Sip champagne while floating past illuminated lakeside villas.

Why Fly Business Class for the Holidays?
