Christkindlimarkt at Zurich Main Station

Zurich's most central Christmas market takes place in the main concourse of the Main Train Station.

Featuring 140 stalls it is one of the largest indoor Christmas markets in Europe. As soon as travelers alight from the train, they are drawn to the market by the irresistible scent of mulled wine and cinnamon.

The absolute highlight of the Christkindlimarkt is a 32-ft-tall Christmas tree decorated with thousands of sparkling Swarovski crystals.
