2 Christmas Markets in Switzerland Worth Booking

1.Zurich Christmas Market Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $43Our pick

Join a guide, often Maria, at 6 pm for a small-group walk through Zurich’s Christmas markets. You’ll see the Illuminarium, the Swarovski-lit tree at the main station, the Singing Christmas Tree, Old Town lights, Grossmünster, Münsterhof, and Bellevue’s large Christmas village.

“Met our guide, Maria, at the Illuminarium Christmas market located at the National Museum. The lights were amazing. Walked across the street to the Zürich Main Station where the highlight was the Lindt Christmas tree. Our next stop was our favorite, Zürich Werdmuhleplatz where we enjoyed Gluhwein and the magnificent Singing Christmas Tree. The finale was by the Opera House which was large and crowded. Definitely the place to be on a Saturday night. We enjoyed the markets, the history and city views provided by Maria. Definitely recommend the Christmas Market Tour.”

2.Zurich’s Enchanted Christmas: A Festive Journey

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3 reviews · from $360

Spend about two hours with a private guide walking from Zurich HB through Werdmühleplatz, Lindenhof, Bahnhofstrasse, Paradeplatz, and Sechseläutenplatz. Expect Christmas lights, two seasonal markets, the Singing Christmas Tree, city stories, and Swiss holiday treats.

“Ok overall! Not worth the cost! While the title of the tour is “Christmas” related, there was not much there to show or visit! We asked the tour guide and he was not necessarily with it! S For 2 hours we just walked different streets… and a couple of Christmas markets - which we could have done on our own!”
