Zurich

The market

Zurich has four markets within a fifteen minute walk: Bellevue Noël by the lake, new in 2026 with a walkable Advent wreath; Polarzauber in the main station hall, Switzerland's largest indoor market, with the Lindt tree; the Singing Christmas Tree at Werdmühleplatz with choir concerts every evening; and the Old Town market in the Niederdorf lanes.

Also in Zurich

• Polarzauber in the main station, with the Lindt tree (19 Nov to 24 Dec 2026)
• Werdmühleplatz market with the Singing Christmas Tree (from 19 Nov 2026)
• Niederdorf Old Town market

What to eat and drink

• Raclette from the chalet
• Glühwein and gebrannte Mandeln
• Fondue, at the chalet or to go from the Fondue Express wagon in the station

The local specialty: Raclette and fondue, and the Lindt chocolate tree in the station hall.

The walk

One hour with your host and a small tasting of the local specialty, from CHF 69 per person. Company evenings run two hours with tastings and a table to finish. How the hour works

Your host meets you at Bellevue, walks you through the lakeside market with a Glühwein, across the river into the Niederdorf lanes and their market, up to the Lindenhof for the view, down Bahnhofstrasse to the Singing Christmas Tree, and ends in the station hall at the Lindt tree, with raclette or fondue on the way and the story of how Zurich does Advent.

• Bellevue Noël by the lake and the Advent wreath
• Niederdorf lanes and the Old Town market
• The Singing Christmas Tree at Werdmühleplatz
• Polarzauber and the Lindt tree in the main station

Your host is a Zurich local from the LocalBini network who knows the city's markets and the lanes between them.
