Visit the one of the most illuminated Christmas markets of Switzerland. At the Stärnemärit, you will have plenty of stars that decorate the market, this place is very family friendly and also perfect for foodie enthusiasts. Bülach – the secret favorite! Bülach is a town that is mainly known about Swiss people, but certainly not for cultural or tourism purpose. Bülach hosts one of the most beautiful Christmas markets of Switzerland and offers the probably best cultural performance with the Santa parade. Lugano – The a bit different Christmas market. In Lugano, Italy is near and this also shows at the Christmas market. If you want to have a different experience after visiting Christmas markets in the Swissgerman and -french part, then Lugano is certainly the right place. The old city is beautifully decorated with plenty of lights. The market hosts numerous artisan stalls and overall feels very traditional and authentic. Stein am Rhein - The fairytale town. The Märlistadt is more than just Christmas! In here, families and kids can experience fairytale performances in a very Christmassy atmosphere. The opening usually on December 1st and that starts with a march of Trychler, men wearing heavy bells. There will be a medieval Christmas market, plenty of lighting decorations, singing and great foodie stalls. Blausee – Christmas celebrated in nature. TAKE NOTE: The Christmas market is not held on a yearly basis! The Christmas market at the Blausee is a very unique one. It is for once not inside a village or city but out in the nature around one of the most beautiful lakes of Switzerland. The market is called Winterzauber am Blausee, which really matches the feeling. When there is a lot of snow, the Christmas market feels very enchanting and cozy. This was one of the most unique Christmas moments I ever had in Switzerland. Basel - The most traditional Christmas Market. Basel’s Christmas markets have the most beautiful stalls in all of Switzerland. It was even once voted the most beautiful Christmas market in all of Europe! What more to say? Take at least 2-3 hours and explore all of the market, enjoy seeing the many decorated stalls with all the unique artisan products. Bremgarten: The never-ending market. This market is the largest market of Switzerland. It is often very crowded while being endless. The market is throughout the entire old city, in front of the school and across the river.
