This was our second year enjoying the Wienachtsdorf Christmas Market in Zurich, and it was a delightful winter wonderland! Located at Sechseläutenplatz right in front of the Opera House, this festive market is a must-visit destination for families.
The market boasts hundreds of stalls filled with unique treasures. I loved hunting for special Christmas ornaments to add to our family collection. From handcrafted jewelry to cozy socks, there’s something for everyone.
With around 100 food stalls, our taste buds were in for a treat! The kids devoured English fudge while I sampled traditional Swiss delicacies. Several decorated huts are located throughout the markets with a cozy atmosphere to enjoy your treats. There is also a Fondue Chalet to enjoy, and reservations is recommended.
The market has activities for the family! Near the Opera House, a two-tiered carousel delights the little ones. Surrounding play stations offer activities like coloring, pretend grocery shopping, and reading books.
The market is located in Sechseläutenplatz, in front of Opera House. Parking can be found at either Parkhaus Opera and Parkhaus Promenade. The market is also easily accessible by public transit via the Bellevueplatz station.
