Early Holiday Flair – Christmas Markets
Early Holiday Flair – Christmas Markets are arriving very soon!
In some areas in Switzerland, Christmas markets are already setting up their stalls despite the leaves still on the trees.
November is the beginning of the holiday season in Switzerland, with some Christmas markets opening.
Although it is still autumn in Switzerland, there are hints of Christmas in many places.
The holiday season is just around the corner, and towns of all sizes are getting ready to celebrate. We nearly forgot that markets were closed in 2020 and that most places required Covid certificates in 2021. So, we are eager to enjoy the holiday season this year early.
It is expected that most Swiss markets will open at the beginning of December to overlap with the start of Advent on December 1st, but others will open this week and next week.
November is the perfect time to start getting ready for Christmas.
