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!

Zurich's Christmas market is located in the main concourse of the Main Train Station. It is known…read moreto be one of the largest indoor Christmas markets in Europe. My husband and I stopped by this past Monday to check out Zurich's indoor Christmas market. Due to covid, staff will request to see your Swiss pass showing that you're fully vaccinated and will ask you for a form of ID like your passport. Be mindful that you must bring them before heading to this Christmas market because I have seen people get turned away not having the proper documentation. Once we walked in, the very first thing we saw was the impressive 32-ft-tall Christmas tree. It was decorated with thousands of sparkling Swarovski crystals. The stalls, all decked out in Christmas decorations, enticed us with their festive temptations. There were several local vendors including food dipped in fondue, local handmade chocolate, and artisan bakeries. The only disappointment was that there were some but not many vendors selling any holiday crafts, ornaments, toys, etc. This Christmas market seemed to be more focused on food and drinks. Nonetheless, it was still fun roaming each row to see what every vendor had to offer. It was also a nice way to stay indoors for a bit when it began to snow outside.

We recently went on a Viking cruise, which embarked from Basel. We decided to go in a couple days…read moreearly to adjust to the time change, and to wander around the city of Basel. And in a stoke of luck, it just so happened to be during their annual Autumn Fair. We learned that it's the oldest fair in Switzerland, and has been running since the 15th century. It was awesome. They actually hold it in several different areas of the city (6, I think), but we only visited three of them. Tons of local things to eat, handmade crafts to buy, entertainment here and there, and plenty of carnival type rides. If you plan a trip to Basel, plan it around the beginning of November so you can check this out. It may just be on our list for a trip to Switzerland that we would start or end in Basel....during this fair.

I happened to be in Basel for work in early November, and happened upon the Autumn fair. I learned…read morethat this is an annual tradition that has been going on for hundreds of years. I am rating this fair 'five stars' primarily due to all the foods I've tried. While many cuisines from around the world are represented, I just loved trying out some of the Swiss snacks! There was this small raclette stand at the messeplatz that I must have visited 4 times in 2 days. Then there was the sausage stand and the risotto and sautéed mushroom stalls. Also for the first time, on a super cold sprinkling night, I tasted warm sweet Gluhwein and it definitely made me feel toasty inside! The fair is literally everywhere throughout Basel. You can literally just walk around town and find yourself running into different squares and streets blocked off with stalls, booths and stands. Other than food, you can pretty much find all sorts of craft items, books, kitchen stuff, etc.. I really enjoyed waking through the different areas throughout my two nights there and would so recommend it for people to visit if you happen to be in Basel during that time of the year.
