Clear comparison

Siror

Autonomous Province of Trento · Trentino-South Tyrol · Italy

Admission and costs
Keep craft purchases, food and optional activities separate from the village walk budget. The troika is an additional market experience, not public transport or a guaranteed ride included in this suggested itinerary.
Getting there
Feltre is the rail gateway, with Trentino Trasporti buses continuing into Primiero. Published local route B511 connects Fiera di Primiero and Siror; the market occupies the village centre among old barns and former stables.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Palazzo delle Miniere in Fiera di Primiero offers guided indoor visits in a different village from Siror. Choose a visit from the palace calendar: it has its own opening days and times.

Bern

Canton of Bern · Switzerland

Admission and costs
The street and square market is free to enter. Food, drinks and purchases are paid for at individual stalls; the museum suggested for rainy weather has its own admission.
Getting there
From Bern station, enter the old town along Spitalgasse and reach Waisenhausplatz. Continue on foot towards Zytglogge, Kramgasse and Münsterplatz: the markets have separate calendars, so the squares remain the route’s landmarks while the open stalls change.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Einsteinhaus, Kramgasse 49, is a small indoor museum stop on the route, with its own admission and hours. The arcades provide shelter along the walk, but do not make the entire itinerary covered.

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.

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.
