2Tallinn, Estonia – For a Fairytale Medieval Christmas
Tallinn’s medieval Old Town becomes an enchanting winter wonderland in December, with its cobbled streets, gothic spires, and historic buildings cloaked in snow.
The Tallinn Christmas Market, held in the main Town Hall Square, is one of the most charming in Europe, featuring a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, traditional Estonian crafts, and delicious seasonal treats like spiced mulled wine and gingerbread. The market also hosts choirs and festive performances, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. With short days and the glow of festive lights, Tallinn in December feels both cozy and magical, capturing the true essence of the holiday season.
Don’t Miss: The city’s medieval walls and towers, which add a storybook charm to the already picturesque Old Town, especially when seen under a dusting of snow.
