The fireworks were fab loved the colors in the sky- and for a whole 1/2 hour, I couldn't believe my eyes! There was music everywhere and lots of Toi Tois too, but to avoid brawls with teenies I'd recommend a better queue...

I'm really happy, because my mom was here when Zueri Faescht was going on, and I was here, so we…read moreboth got to experience the crazy-ness. It's awesome. Go early (like 4 or 5 ish in the afternoon) so you get your fill of it before all hell breaks loose. It's a lot like a state fair (yknow, like back in the states) except way bigger, and instead of it being in a closed off field, they bring it to the middle of the city, roller coasters and all. So you can still enjoy the beautiful buildings, river, and all the roads are shut down. One tramstop was even transformed into a bar, that was cool looking. They shot off fireworks to beautiful music for 30 MINUTES! There is SO MUCH FOOD. I loved it. You can try everything. It's like Swiss Fair Food! And it's awesome. Sure it ads up, but it's not bad, maybe 7-15CHF per plate. The only downside is the cluster fudge of people. That's why you might wanna peace out around 10 or 11. My mom left before the fireworks, and that was probably a really good decision. There was one point when boyfriend and I almost lost it because we were smashed against people. It gets a little crowded. A teenage boy took advantage of the mess and held my hand for maybe 2 seconds. See, people get a little crazy. The good thing that came out of it was boyfriend and I eventually got smashed against the barbeque stand, so we actually got to skip the line and eat bbq. That was fun. It's an experience. If you have an open mind and avoid the scary mass of people, it's pretty awesome. AND IT'S ONLY EVERY 3 YEARS!

This is a fun annual carnival event that is centered around a weekend-long shooting competition…read morefor kids 13-17. Standard bustling carnival fare with outrageous prices.

This was the location of my first (and only so far) taste of Feuerzangenbowle (fire-tongs punch)…read morelast year. I guess it's not the same as Glühwein, but it's still a hot, sweet, alcoholic drink. Served from a huge vat, and I can't decide which tastes better. I like this location amongst all the fancy shops and pretty xmas lights near Bahnhofstrasse. It was also fun to find a personalized mug for sale with my bf's not-so-common German name. This year I tried the Glühwein and also some sweet fudge and honey roasted almonds. Sehr gut!

Hectic Christmas market clustered around (and jamming) the Globus main entrance…read more Stopped by one shack which offered mediocre wine-and-rum-based punch (Feuerzangenbowle), a sickeningly sweet apple-based punch, and a non-alcoholic kid's "witches' brew" (Hexenpunsch). Would probably not visit again.

I've always been a big fan of carousels. Came across this one a few days ago on an afternoon walk…read morewith my 1 yr old daughter along the Limmatquai. I love the vibrant colors and old fashioned style of this carousel, even though the horses don't move up and down. I put my little girl on a horse and she held on tight. Round and round we went, the delightful smiles on her face brought back the memories of my own childhood. It is such a treat to have such an old fashioned carousel from 1880 restored to it's original condition in the historical city center of Zurich. And it's only 1 frank a ride! :)

Oh my... I drafted this review time ago and forgot to submit it.. Here it goes…read more. Salon du Chocolat is an yearly Chocolate Fare happening at Messe Zurich (started in 2012 though). Big chocolate brands (such as Sprungli or Ladarach) and many others come there and expose their products. If you are a chocolate fan, it's worth paying the 18 CHF ticket price and tasting different chocolates. Very important: bring a bottle of water with you, else you'll soon become saturated and won't be able to enjoy it for as long as you'll want :D Also, it's a great place for buying special presents, as it has many different types of chocolate you've never ever thought of before :) I don't give it full 5 stars because I'm thinking they could make some effort in improving the overall facilities of the exposition space.. such as adding some points of refreshment selling or some seats here and there.. it usually becomes tiring just walking around after 1 hour.

It's kind of interesting that this street was once named after a ditch of frogs (Fröschengraben)…read more Well, actually the frogs lived in a moat along the defensive wall that surrounded Old Town Zurich prior to 1864. That moat would eventually become a major street connecting the train station to Lake Zurich. Currently, it is considered to be one of the most exclusive & expensive shopping boulevards in the world. It's Switzerland's Fifth Avenue or Champs-Élysées. Honestly, I had no idea until our tour brought us here. All I can say is that this is a designer shopper's paradise. We walked along this ritzy street to get to the Bürkliplatz for a beautiful view of Lake Zurich. It was just nice to see the architecture and history here. There were many public art sculptures and cafés. We were there during the autumn season. I've read that this area is best seen during the winter months when they string up the "Lucy" lights all along the area. They are named after the "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" song from the Beatles. It looks amazing in pictures. So, is it as beautiful as the Champs-Élysées? No, but it has its own charm. I'm sure it looks very magical at night. Maybe it's the view of the tram cables over the street that makes it feel like a busy railway. Although, I didn't see any traffic. Then again, the street is aptly named "Bahnhofstrasse" for a reason.
