3Tallinn Christmas Market – Estonia

Tallinn’s Christmas Market, located in the city’s medieval Town Hall Square, is a fairy-tale come to life. The market’s setting, with its cobbled streets and historic buildings, is like stepping into a winter wonderland. Tallinn’s market is smaller than some of its European counterparts but is known for its intimacy and charm. Visitors can try traditional Estonian Christmas dishes like black pudding and sauerkraut, and shop for locally crafted woolen goods and wooden toys. The centerpiece of the market is a magnificent Christmas tree, a tradition dating back to 1441.
