Zurich was the last stop on our tour. The city of Zurich was not our favorite. Let's just say it is not as family friendly as Rothenburg or Strasbourg and it was very expensive. The christmas markets were interesting as well. The first one we went to was outdoors in the historic part of town. It was very eclectic and had lots of vendors of things that were not Christmas, just the things you would find at the average flea market. However, I was able to find one ornament.
One highlight was our visit to Starbucks, but the best part of Zurich for us was the indoor Christmas market in the train station. It featured the largest indoor christmas market in Europe. On display was the most beautiful tree of our entire trip and I am sure the most expensive. It was decorated with 7000 Swarovski crystals of all shapes, sizes and designs. It was absolutely spectacular!
Zurich is certainly better suited for adults and couples. Later that evening, Preston and I enjoyed an adults night out with 2 other couples. We had a fantastic dinner at a Spanish Restaurant. The last morning of the trip was Christmas Eve and it was time to return home. We were looking forward to our first christmas dinner in France and a much needed rest at home. Yes, it's beginning to feel like home.
