Heiliger Bim Bam

A funkier alternative to the many traditional Christmas markets in Zurich, this one showcases the creations of young designers and artists in the city’s increasingly hip 3, 4 and 5 districts. Find vintage-inspired clothing, locally-designed jewellery and bags, handmade crafts, retro homeware, books, cards and cupcakes spread over around 100 stalls. It takes place at two locations, and it’s possible to shop til midnight at the MAAG-Halle. Though this is a thoroughly modern Christmas market, happily one tradition very much remains – copious mulled wine is on offer throughout.
