Einsiedeln

Schwyz · Switzerland

Admission and costs
The Hauptstrasse and Klosterplatz market is free. Diorama Bethlehem is a separate museum: adults CHF 9, children aged 6–16 CHF 5. Shopping and food at the market stalls are additional expenses.
Getting there
From Einsiedeln station, the lower market entrance is a two- or three-minute walk away. Follow Hauptstrasse uphill through the stalls to Klosterplatz: the abbey gives this route a clear destination.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Diorama Bethlehem, Benzigerstrasse 23, displays a large nativity scene and minerals: it is indoors but unheated. Separate admission; seasonal opening 27 November 2026–6 January 2027, daily 11am–5pm.

Levico Terme

Autonomous Province of Trento · Trentino-South Tyrol · Italy

Admission and costs
The market in the Habsburg Park has free entry. Budget for shopping, refreshments and any separately paid experiences; these activities should not be confused with simply entering the chalet area and walking through the park.
Getting there
Levico Terme station is 450 metres from the park’s monumental gate in Viale Rovigo. It is on the Trento–Bassano line; some services are replaced by buses until 12 December, so the journey may include a change of vehicle.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Santissimo Redentore church in central Piazza della Chiesa offers a short cultural and reflective stop when open. Access follows religious services; it provides a brief indoor pause rather than a complete alternative day under cover.
Where to park
Use the public car park on the former Beber site, with an entrance on Viale Roma, then walk to the Habsburg Park.

Christmas in everyday life

The Singing Christmas Tree in Werdmühleplatz, Zurich, in an archive press photograph. This is not a performance from the 2026 edition.
TO DISCOVER

In Zurich the Christmas tree really sings. And you want to leave!

Red capes, green branches and dozens of voices: the Singing Christmas Tree is also a tree made of people. From 19 November to 23 December 2026 a square in the heart of Zurich is once again filled with music. And the concerts are free.

TO DISCOVER

CHRISTMAS: THERE IS MORE THAN ONE STORY IN THE NATIVITY SCENE!

Shepherds and Magi meet in our cribs. In the Gospels, they come from two different stories waiting to be discovered.
