Tips & Advice
- Reserve the Fondue Chalet early if you are planning a Christmas party or family meal, since bookings for the season are already open.
- Bring a card, or buy a prepaid card with cash at the Hendricks bar, because the market runs almost entirely without cash.
- Come by public transport to the Kanonengasse stop or Zurich main station, because there is no parking at the Europaallee.
- Come back in a different week, since the roughly eighty exhibitors change every week and bring new food and gift ideas.
- Plan Sunday visits earlier in the day, because the market and the Glüehstube close earlier, and the outdoor bars close first.

- Opening day on Thursday, November 19.
- Mini-Markt for small makers on weekends, with dates still to be announced.
