Basel Christmas Markets

This festive season sees the Old Town streets of Barfusserplatz beautifully lined with lush pine trees. A new addition to the winter fun in Basel this year is the “Advent Street”. Opened on the 25^th November and running through to Christmas Eve, here you will enjoy festive food and drink.

As a plus, they also have an exciting programme of events just for the kids.

Montreux Christmas Markets

November 20 – 24 December

With the dramatic backdrop of the Alps and located on the shore line of the stunning Lake Geneva, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in a Christmas card scene when visiting the Montreux Christmas Markets! This is a great family market as they have a post office just for Santa, a village for elves and a reindeer park! If that isn’t enough to fill the day, you can enjoy a stroll through the charming medieval market stalls and sample the local food and buy gifts.
