Yes, it’s time to get into the mood for Christmas, think about gifts and decoration and get ready! Don’t you spot cookies and tinsel in all shops?
In Zurich, Christmastime means Swarovski-Time: Probably the city’s most famous festive attraction is the sparkling tree by the Austrian jewellery label. For many years it has been in the historical hall of the main station to charm pedestrians and Christmas market visitors alike. The fantastic tree, which is decorated with 6500 to 7000 ornaments, will be there for the 20th time. There are other Swarovski trees in cities such as Moscow, Milano, and Dubai, but Zurich was first. How cool is that?
Year after year I am one of the many people standing in front of the tree with big eyes (and hopefully a mulled wine in my hands). The first time when I saw it as a teenager I was very impressed because it’s unlike any other Christmas tree. I had to think of a giant crystal sculpture from a fairy tale. Since then seeing the tree became a ritual, and I can’t imagine Christmas in Zurich without this tree.
Don’t miss the lightning event! It will take place on the 23rd of November, 19 o’clock. I’d be so happy to see some of you guys there. Until 23rd of December, there will be a daily light show from five till the market closes. If you are not in a festive mood yet, I bet a visit there will change this right now. Ho ho ho!
