Night Shopping
Zurich
20 November, 2025
At 6 p.m. sharp, the festivities began
When the Christmas lights are switched on in the city centre, we celebrate Night Shopping Zurich. The fine happening is a real highlight in the run-up to Christmas. Stroll through brightly lit streets and alleyways, go for your first Christmas shopping during the long opening hours, meet friends, ring in the end of the day and immerse yourself in the Christmas spirit. Once again, Night Shopping 2025 delighted visitors with live music on five stages, walking acts that brought light to the people, and inviting outdoor stands offering hot drinks, refreshments, and culinary treats. People strolled through the city center, enjoyed the festive lights, and were able to do their gift shopping until 9 p.m.

Christmas in Zurich
SPECIAL
Aus Rücksicht auf die besondere Lage konnte das Einschalten der Weihnachtsbeleuchtungen 2020 nicht wie in den letzten Jahren zelebriert werden. Dieses Jahr feierten wir Night Shopping behutsam. Deshalb gab es ausnahmsweise keine Bühnen mit Live-Musik.
Die Besucher genossen dafür die Attraktionen der teilnehmenden Geschäfte. Mit ihren Aktivitäten setzten sie bis um 21 Uhr viele ansprechende Akzente.
Diese Bilder zeigen Ihnen einen Rückblick auf die vergangenen Jahre. Wir freuen uns darauf, wenn wir in der City wieder musizieren, mitsingen und tanzen dürfen.
Zurich Christmas
There's no way around the Christmas city of Zurich.
There is so much to discover in Zurich at Christmas time. For example, the Christmas markets with their picturesque market huts. The oldest of its kind in Zurich is the Dörfli Christmas market in the Old Town against a backdrop steeped in history.
Zurich is simply irresistible during the Advent season! A marvellous sea of lights illuminates the charming city. In the midst of cosmopolitan Swiss hospitality, you can relax and get in the mood for the festive season.

Walking-Acts on Tour!
The walking acts at this year's Night Shopping event caused a stir throughout the city center. Visitors were able to discover the wondrous characters everywhere and follow their fascinating performances.
Special thanks go to Confiserie Sprüngli, the Zurich Bahnhofstrasse Association, and Coop Genossenschaft, whose support made the walking acts possible.
There was also plenty to experience away from the shows: Santa Claus stopped by Bürkliplatz with his Coca-Cola truck – an atmospheric attraction that spread additional Christmas cheer.
