In the heart of Zurich, nestled in the festive ambiance of the pre-Christmas season, the Zurich Christkindlmarkt annually shines in its resplendent glory. Since its debut in 1993, the market has evolved into one of Switzerland's most beloved Christmas markets, attracting visitors from around the globe.
This market takes place every year during the Advent season and traditionally closes its gates on Christmas Eve. During this reflective period, the Zurich Main Station, one of the busiest transport hubs in Europe, transforms into a winter wonderland. The imposing architecture of the station hall provides a unique backdrop for the market, creating an atmosphere that blends historical charm with modern city life.
The Christkindlmarkt is organized by CP9 advanced marketing solutions AG, a company that has proven its expertise in creating exceptional experiential worlds. The combination of organizational skill and creative execution makes the market an annual highlight.
Spanning across the main hall of the station, over 150 market stalls line up. Here, visitors can discover everything from handcrafted goods to culinary delicacies. The Zurich Christkindlmarkt is renowned for its inviting and warm atmosphere, accentuated by the gigantic Christmas lighting and decorations.
A unique feature of the market is the two observation platforms, offering a splendid view over the bustling market below. These platforms also provide an opportunity to enjoy a special drink in private while soaking in the festive mood.
Traditional delights such as Swiss raclette, spicy mulled wine variations, and exquisite chocolate creations tantalize the visitors' senses, inviting them to linger and indulge. This aromatic diversity reflects the culinary richness of Switzerland.
Due to its central location in the Main Station, the Zurich Christkindlmarkt is exceptionally accessible. It is easily reachable from all directions of the city, both by public transport and on foot.
In conclusion, the market dazzles not only with its festive atmosphere and diverse offerings but also with its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. Each year, a portion of the proceeds is donated to charitable causes, making a visit to the Zurich Christkindlmarkt a good deed for one's heart and the community.
The Christmas fair takes place annually, and therefore for the thirty-second time previsibly in December 2025 in Zurich.
