Description
Meet your private guide beside the Opera House and begin at a carefully selected lakeside Christmas market. Set between the lake and one of Zürich's most elegant cultural landmarks, it brings together local makers, seasonal flavors, and a spectacular elevated view over the festivities.
Enjoy an included festive drink as your guide helps you find the stalls worth discovering and recommends what to taste, shop for, and take home. Continue through the illuminated lanes of the Old Town to a smaller Christmas market framed by historic architecture.
With its refined local character, this curated stop showcases Zürich brands, artisan products, and festive specialties. Along the way, hear about Swiss Christmas customs, local traditions, and how Zürich celebrates the Advent season.
As darkness falls, reach Bahnhofstrasse and walk beneath Lucy, the city's celebrated canopy of thousands of light crystals. Pass the festive displays of Paradeplatz and enjoy time for photographs while your guide shares recommendations for seasonal shopping, dining, and the rest of your stay.
Continue towards Werdmühleplatz and conclude beneath the Singing Christmas Tree, where choirs perform from a tiered stage shaped like a decorated fir tree. Your guide will leave you perfectly placed to stay for a performance, browse the surrounding market, continue with night shopping along Bahnhofstrasse, or enjoy dinner nearby.
