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!

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 was amazing! Had lots a fun. Definitely a great experience. Also walking distance from another…read moreChristmas market.

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.

Every item was carefully chosen, high quality, not always easily found everywhere and most importantly tastes great!! You can get information about food but also you can buy it at the event. Each wine booth had at least 5-10 kinds of wine and this wine tasting itself would be worth for the ticket. Then there was truffle cheese... omg.. so good. Espresso/coffee booth offered free espresso or cappuccino. Many different kinds of olive oil and balsamic/fruit vinegar. Also cooking demo and cookbooks for sale. You can find fondue samples before buying fondue cheese. The event was held in two entire floors. This is a great event to learn more about good food, Swiss food and also gourmet food. Highly recommended!!!

The SlowFood Market is a wonderful event in Zurich. Different local and regional (Germany, Italy,…read moreFrance, Austria) producers show off their foodstuffs that is made in the philosophy of the SlowFood movement. It's held in the Halle 9 of the Messe Zentrum, Zurich. While the venue is large enough to hold everyone, it's very crowded. As it should be a market, I would suggest holding it earlier in the autumn - end of September - and outside. I would also like to see a restaurant area featuring local chefs cooking meals with the products available at the market. Visitors should also bring cash as most if not all vendors do not accept credit or debit cards. I hope this event and movement continues to find traction in Switzerland and around the world. It's definitely something to bring children to and start educating them early about the importance of good nutrition.

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! :)
