Zürcher Weihnachtsallee

The Zürcher Weihnachtsallee transforms Zurich's modern Europaallee district into a glittering winter wonderland just steps from the main train station. Stretching from Gustav-Gull-Platz to Europaplatz, this contemporary Christmas market offers a refreshing alternative to traditional markets with its urban setting and international flair. Around 80 weekly rotating vendors create a dynamic shopping experience, featuring delicacies from around the world alongside Swiss specialties, design-focused crafts, and handmade gifts. The market's centerpiece is the cozy Fondue Chalet at Gustav-Gull-Platz, where visitors can reserve tables for authentic Swiss cheese fondue in a warm, festive atmosphere. At the opposite end, the Glüehstube bar on Europaplatz serves warming Glühwein and hosts DJ evenings and entertainment programs. Unique features include a karaoke bar housed in a festive hut, creative workshops throughout the season, and Instagram-worthy photo spots that make this market particularly popular with younger visitors. Weekend mini-markets add even more variety with additional artisan vendors. The cashless payment system and extended evening hours until 22:00 make this market convenient for both lunch breaks and after-work visits. With its blend of international cuisine, contemporary design, and traditional Swiss hospitality, the Zürcher Weihnachtsallee offers a distinctly modern Christmas market experience in the heart of Zurich.
