Plan for
1-2 hours
What you need to know
- Lights after dark: it gets dark around 4:30pm in December, so even an early-evening visit shows the stalls lit up
- Drop in, leave anytime: there's no ticket or timed entry, so a short loop works as well as a whole afternoon
- Dress for the lake cold: it's all outdoors by the water, so bring hats and gloves for the evening
About
Rapperswil's Christkindlimärt turns the medieval old town into a Christmas market. During the big market week, more than 200 stalls stretch from the lakeshore along Marktgasse to Hauptplatz, making it one of the largest in Switzerland. It is a place to stroll, browse and look at the lights rather than a program of activities, so it suits kids happy to wander alongside a parent.
