Christmas Markets
Just back from a few days rest, first in Zermatt and then in München, or Munich as you probably know it.
We just missed the Kriskindlmarkt in Münich, but as we got off the train in Zürich, our very own one was opening there.
And do you know what? It’s Christmas Market time all over Switzerland. I’m not a lover of the home-woven yoghurt that tends to be sold at this type of thing, but that’s just me.
If you’ve never been to one, then it’s worth it just for the atmosphere, which is invariably helped by the smell of Glühwein and frying Bratwurst. The most famous markets are in Germany, Nuremburg springs to mind, but Switzerland does it well too.
So, the famous ones are in Zürich, Lausanne, Basel, Montreux and Einsiedeln. I’ll be adding the dates for all of these over the next few days, so stay tuned!
