Christmas market on the Münsterhof
Weihnachtsmarkt Münsterhof
On the Münsterhof, the old-town square below the Fraumünster, decorated huts gather around a culture tent that sets this market apart. Local businesses and Zürich brands sell gifts here, so it's a good place for presents with a local touch, and the food stands serve dishes from around the world along with the market's own homemade mulled wine.
The culture tent has something on most evenings: concerts by local artists, choirs such as the Zürcher Sängerknaben and the Zürcher Singakademie, and at 19:09 every day "7nach7", a short story read by a well-known Zürich face from politics, sport or culture, for grown-ups and children alike. On 6 December St. Nicholas drops by with his saxophone.
The market is built to last: stalls of Swiss wood, LED lighting, reusable dishes and recycling stations.
Getting there: take the tram to Paradeplatz, two minutes' walk away. There's no parking nearby.
