Zurich Christmas Lights

From November 22, Zürich’s most famous shopping street, the Bahnhofstrasse, will shine out more brightly than ever. “Lucy”– as the Christmas lights are called – will be switched on. These Christmas illuminations comprise almost 12,000 crystals containing luminescent white, red and blue LED lights that can be controlled individually, producing dots of color of varying intensity in the sky. What’s more, on the same evening visitors can enjoy late-night shopping in the inner city until 10.00pm, fortified by the culinary delicacies and mulled wine on sale at any of the numerous food stands.
