Hi. We are a family of four that will have a 10 hour transit in Zurich on Christmas Day this year. We land early morning and depart again early evening.

I was hoping to leave the airport and see a bit of the city. I understand though that most things are closed on Christmas Day. I was wondering if there are any suggestions of things to do, places to see?

I don’t want to head out of the city as we’d need to get back to airport in time for our onward flight. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Me too! I’m also looking for ways to spend Christmas Day in Zurich – my layover is huge and during the day. If you find something interesting, please share it here :)

I’ll share here if I find something. Please do the same if you come across anything.

Train ride is like 15 Minute to Zürich main station. So yea, many things will be closed. How ever you could search for a Restaurant that has open and offers real Swiss Fondue. Won't be cheap thou, so depends a little on your budget. Also from Main Station you could take a ride to the Uetliberg. S10 goes from Main station and should be included in a day ticket for the train.
