3Tallinn, Estonia: A Medieval Christmas

If you’re seeking a Christmas destination that feels like stepping back in time, Tallinn, Estonia’s capital, is the perfect choice. With its well-preserved medieval old town, cobblestone streets, and Gothic spires, Tallinn offers an enchanting and unique Christmas experience. The focal point of Christmas in Tallinn is the Tallinn Christmas Market, located in the city’s Town Hall Square.
The market is small compared to other European cities, but its charm lies in its authenticity and medieval setting. The centerpiece of the market is a towering Christmas tree, a tradition that dates back to 1441 when Tallinn became one of the first cities in Europe to erect a public Christmas tree. Surrounded by medieval buildings and the city’s impressive Town Hall, the market feels like a scene from a fairy tale.
