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.

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 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!

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! :)

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.
