Parking for the Zürich Christmas Markets 2026

Checked on 2 October 2026. Dates can still change; the organisers’ websites have the final word.

Zürich has two big Christmas markets, a short tram ride apart:

• Christkindlimarkt in the main station (Hauptbahnhof): 19 November to 24 December 2026, Sunday to Wednesday 11:00 to 21:00, Thursday to Saturday 11:00 to 22:00. More than 100 stalls, indoors, around a tall Christmas tree.
• Bellevue Noël on Sechseläutenplatz, by the Opera House (until 2025 called Wienachtsdorf): 19 November to 23 December 2026, Monday to Saturday 11:00 to 22:00, Sunday 11:00 to 20:00. Payment there is cashless only.

Coming by car

Neither market has parking of its own, and the streets around the main station and Bellevue are among the busiest in the city in Advent. The calm way is to leave the car in a car park a short walk or tram ride away.

Car parks you can book

• Parking Ibis Styles & Adagio, Stampfenbachstrasse 60: 5 minutes on foot to the main station.
• Parking VISIONAPARTMENTS Militärstrasse: 4 minutes on foot to the main station.
• Parking Züri Garage, Huttenstrasse 63: 26 minutes on foot to Sechseläutenplatz.

A reservation holds your space for the whole time you booked, so you are not circling the block on a Saturday in Advent. Book before you set off, from the car park’s page.

Good to know

• Between the two markets, trams run every few minutes from the main station to Bellevue.
• Street parking in Zürich is free on Sundays at the white metered spaces in the centre; see our guide to parking in Zürich for the rules.
