Intro
Every year at the end of November, things get a little magical on Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse: the Christmas lights are switched on during late-night shopping and shine throughout the entire Advent season.
Every year, the “Lucy” Christmas lights on Bahnhofstrasse are switched on during late-night shopping to herald in the Advent season. Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse is bathed in a magical light, creating a wonderful Christmas feeling.
The Christmas nights get their name from the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”. The “Lucy” lights comprise some 11,150 glass crystals and 23,100 LED lights, illuminating the entire length of the 1,050-metre stretch from Bahnhofplatz to Bürkliplatz. This Christmas highlight in Zurich enchants young and old alike every year.
This year, the lights will be switched on at 6 p.m. on Thursday, 20 November 2025. “Lucy” will then continue to shine until 6 January 2026.
