Opening Times in Zurich during the Holiday Season
Christmas is a contemplative time of year, which people like to spend in the company of family and friends. Nevertheless, it can happen that you run out of sugar or simply need a little more time to find that special Christmas gift for your loved ones. So it is great that the stores in the center of Zurich are also open on Sundays during Advent.
The Christmas period is kicked off on November 22 at 6.00pm, when the Christmas lights are officially switched on along Bahnhofstrasse, followed by late-night shopping until 10.00pm.
Christmas Lighting & Night Shopping
Zurich’s Christmas lighting will give a special brilliance to the Bahnhofstrasse during Advent season. The Christmas lighting will be turned on on November 22, 2018 and in honor of the occasion, special “Night Shopping” will take place at more than 150 shops in the center of Zurich.
