One of the great regular events in Zürich is the regular Wednesday market in the main train station. Being Switzerland there's the usual selection of cheeses - but theres also an excellent selection of breads, a much underrated Swiss foodstuff with an excellent variety. As one might expect from what amounts to a farmers market in the city - there's a good variety of breads.
