Christmas Market Münsterhof

The Christmas Market Münsterhof offers a uniquely local experience in one of Zurich's most picturesque historic squares, surrounded by the iconic Fraumünster church and traditional guild houses. Operating under the motto "From Zurich for Zurich," this modern-elegant market distinguishes itself by showcasing carefully curated local businesses, Zurich brands, and high-quality Swiss craftsmanship rather than mass-produced items. Visitors can browse through lovingly decorated market chalets featuring everything from traditional Zurich Tirggel cookies from Bäckerei St. Jakob to Tsüri sauces, DillySocks, and premium writing utensils from the historic firm Landolt-Arbenz. The market's culinary offerings include diverse international flavors alongside Swiss specialties, with the housemade Münsterhof Glühwein being a particular highlight for warming up on cold winter days. The atmosphere balances festive tradition with contemporary elegance, creating an intimate setting perfect for leisurely strolls and conversation. Beyond shopping and dining, the market features a rich cultural program including the "7NACH7" storytelling events, workshops for children and adults, and atmospheric concerts in a dedicated culture tent. Historical guided tours exploring the Münsterhof's heritage add educational depth to the experience. The market demonstrates strong commitment to sustainability through reusable dishware, eco-friendly LED lighting powered by renewable energy, recycling stations, and market stalls built from certified Swiss wood designed for year-after-year reuse. Arrive via public transport to Paradeplatz tram stop for the easiest access to this charming local treasure.
