Polarzauber Zürich will take place from November 20 to December 24, 2025 in the festively decorated concourse of Zurich Main Station. This makes the new Christmas market Zurich's central meeting place for young and old during the Advent season.
Polarzauber is located in the large concourse of Zurich Main Station (Zürich HB) - right in the heart of the city. Thanks to its central location, the Christmas market is easy to reach by train, streetcar or bus.
Digital payments are always available. This includes debit card, credit card, Twint, Apple Pay and American Express. More than 90 percent of the stands also accept cash. You choose your preferred payment method for each purchase. This keeps the market clear, flexible and accessible for everyone.
