Full of Century’s old traditions, Tallinn’s Medieval Old Town takes on an especially magical quality this time of the year, with snow covered rooftops and outdoor candles lining cobblestone lanes with a flickering glow. Though the nights may be dark, winter is when you’ll find Tallinn at its most enchanting.

At the heart of all the action stands the market’s decorated centrepiece which was first placed in the Town Hall Square in 1441, making it one of the oldest public trees in the world!

From shopping at the charming, old-fashioned Christmas Market, which is fast becoming one of Europe’s favourite Christmas Markets, to skating on Old Town’s outdoor ice rink to enjoying a cup of hot, spiced wine in a cosy café, every day brings new delights. And the city is further brightened up by a full schedule of classical concerts, jazz events, film screenings and other engaging activities.
