Why visit Zurich during Christmas
Magical Christmas markets
Top things to do during Christmas in Zurich
Wander through the Christkindlimarkt
Held inside Zurich’s main train station, this indoor market features over 140 stalls and a 50-foot Swarovski crystal tree. Perfect for last-minute gifts and warming up with glühwein between train rides.
Glide across the Dolder ice rink
With sweeping city views and a romantic alpine backdrop, the Dolder Kunsteisbahn is Switzerland’s largest open-air ice rink — and it’s extra magical under the fairy-lit sky.
Hop on the Märlitram (fairy tale tram)
Zurich’s cutest Christmas tradition — kids are whisked through the city on a sparkling tram with Santa and his angels telling festive stories. (Adults can enjoy boat cruises on Lake Zurich instead!)
Candle-making
Candle making, or Kerzenziehen, is a simple but much-loved Zurich Christmas tradition. Families and friends meet in city squares to dip wicks into melted wax, layering colors until their candle takes shape. Once done, it’s weighed, since its cost is dependent on its size. Proceeds then go to charity.
Illuminarium
Held in the courtyard of the Swiss National Museum, it transforms the space into a glowing world of color, sound, and projection. Expect dazzling light shows dancing across historic walls, interactive installations, and festive music that fills the air. There’s also a cozy food market serving Swiss treats.
Go up the Uetliberg
Zurich’s Uetliberg Mountain is the city’s very own winter postcard come to life at Christmas. Just a short train ride from the city center, it offers sweeping views of snow-covered rooftops and Lake Zurich glistening below. Locals hike up or take the train straight to the top, where trails are lit by twinkling lights in the evenings.
Your perfect Christmas itinerary
Markets, lights, and lake views
Morning
- Start with breakfast at Café Sprüngli. Their signature hot chocolate and Luxemburgerli macarons are Christmas in a cup.
- Stroll down Bahnhofstrasse to catch the early light shimmering over the festive windows.
Afternoon
- Head to Zurich Main Station for the Christkindlimarkt, one of Europe’s largest indoor Christmas markets. Enjoy raclette and browse local crafts under the glittering Swarovski tree.
- Next, make your way to the Lindt Home of Chocolate in Kilchberg. Behold the world’s largest chocolate fountain, discover the story behind Switzerland’s most famous export, and sample endless sweet treats.
Evening
- End your day at Sechseläutenplatz by the Opera House.
- Sip mulled wine at the Wienachtsdorf, go skating under the stars, and wrap up with dinner at Restaurant Opera for fondue or Zürcher Geschnetzeltes.
Christmas magic and alpine charm
Morning
- Wake up to the sound of church bells and enjoy a festive brunch at The Dolder Grand overlooking snow-covered Zurich. Then, lace up your skates for a morning glide at the Dolder Ice Rink.
Afternoon
- Take a Lake Zurich Christmas Cruise to enjoy panoramic city views framed by the Alps.

Frequently asked questions about celebrating Christmas in Zurich
Why is Christmas one of the best times to visit Zurich?
Zurich in December feels straight out of a fairy tale: snow-dusted rooftops, glittering lights along the Limmat River, and the scent of mulled wine everywhere. It’s one of the most charming and festive times to visit Switzerland’s largest city.
When does Christmas in Zurich start?
Zurich’s festive season usually kicks off in mid-November, when the lights on Bahnhofstrasse are officially switched on. Christmas markets typically run until December 23rd or 24th, with ice rinks and winter activities continuing into early January.
What are some Christmas traditions in Zurich?
Locals visit markets for Glühwein, sing along at the Singing Christmas Tree, and children enjoy rides on the Märlitram (Fairy Tale Tram). Many families celebrate with fondue dinners on Christmas Eve and attend midnight mass.
What are some things to do in Zurich on Christmas Eve?
Spend your Christmas Eve strolling through the Bahnhofstrasse for dazzling lights, visit the Christkindlimarkt inside Zurich Main Station, and catch a performance at the Singing Christmas Tree in Werdmühleplatz. In the evening, many locals attend midnight mass at the Grossmünster Church.
What is the weather like at Christmas in Zurich?
Expect chilly, snowy weather! Daytime temperatures hover around 2–5°C (35–40°F) and often dip below freezing at night. Snowfall is common, adding to Zurich’s magical holiday feel, so pack warm layers, gloves, and boots.
Is Zurich crowded at Christmas?
It’s busy, but pleasantly so. Zurich sees more visitors in December than usual, especially around Christmas markets and lakefront attractions, but it never feels overwhelming. Book accommodation and restaurant tables early to avoid last-minute stress.
What’s open in Zurich on Christmas Day?
Many attractions, markets, and shops close on December 25th, but hotels, some restaurants, and winter activities like ice skating at Dolder or walking along the lake remain open. The city also feels beautifully peaceful that day, ideal for scenic walks and photo ops.
What is the most popular Christmas market in Zurich?
The Christkindlimarkt inside Zurich Main Station takes the crown. It’s one of Europe’s largest indoor Christmas markets, famous for its 50-foot Swarovski crystal tree. Other favorites include the Wienachtsdorf at Sechseläutenplatz and the Old Town market at Niederdorf.
Are restaurants open on Christmas in Zurich?
Yes — though reservations are essential. Many top restaurants and hotels, like Zeughauskeller, Dolder Grand, and Restaurant Opera, offer special Christmas menus with Swiss classics like fondue, raclette, or roasted veal.

An unforgettable experience, both on the train ride and upon arrival. I was impressed by the technical feat, especially the tunnels carved into the rock. Upon arrival at the terminal, there was a breathtaking 360-degree view, and a magnificent tour of the ice cave and its splendid ice sculptures. Words cannot begin to express how thoroughly I enjoyed this fabulous day.

The round-trip train journey from Interlaken to Jungfraujoch was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my trip to Switzerland. The breathtaking Alpine scenery outside the window was stunning throughout the ride, and the panoramic view of the snow-covered mountains from the Sphinx Observatory was absolutely incredible. The train transfers were well organized and easy to follow, and using the Eiger Express gondola made the journey even more convenient. Although the ticket price was quite high, it was definitely worth it. I highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to fully experience the majestic beauty of the Swiss Alps.

The place exceeded my expectations. What you can't appreciate through photos, you experience inside while tasting the chocolate.
A great experience for the family.

A great tour—the guide was very pleasant, and I'll recommend this experience to my friends. It included a bus ride, a visit to the Lindt House Museum, and a return trip by boat. The only thing I didn't like was that the tour was in English, and there were no headphones available for Spanish translation. There were several of us tourists, and honestly, they could improve this aspect.
