LUCY

The starry sky above the world-famous Bahnhofstrasse

Each year, the Christmas lights “Lucy” are switched on during Zurich’s Night Shopping, marking the beginning of Advent. “Lucy” bathes Switzerland’s most important street in magical light, creating a festive, atmospheric ambiance for visitors, nearby shops, and passersby. The Christmas lights on Bahnhofstrasse – named after the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” – are the Christmas highlight in Zurich, enchanting young and old alike. This year, the lighting will take place on Thursday, November 21, 2024, at 6:00 p.m.
