Be sure to join us on Saturday evening for a special “Welcome to Zürich” night OUT, starting with our special holiday welcome toast at the 25hour Hotel Langstrasse Zürich. We’ll break out the egg nog for this festive night of holly jolly cheer.

Next, join us for a stroll through town to a couple of the larger Christmas markets. Zürich’s markets create fairy-tale settings in the romantic Old Town, all the more magical during the holiday season. These festive gatherings bring back childhood memories and recall the Christmases of old. Typical of traditional markets are clusters of wooden huts manned by artisans selling their handcrafted wares. You might even see the vendors at work… carving wood, making candles or decorating gingerbread. Not only do the markets showcase the best of Swiss culture, but they give our OUTbounders opportunities to shop for one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts. You’ll find wreaths, wooden toys and hand-blown glass ornaments… the perfect gift for someone special, or yourself!
