After-work mulled wine at one of Bern’s Christmas markets

Is there anything better than being wrapped up in a fluffy winter jacket and sipping on a delicious, mulled wine or punch at a Christmas market? An after-work visit to a Christmas market has become tradition for many companies. And rightly so. Bern’s Christmas markets are as diverse as their range of hot drinks. Each market has its own character, so it’s worth visiting all of them, for example on a Christmas market hopping tour. Here are our favourite markets.

Enjoy your mulled wine
