Winter Tallinn looks exactly like the perfect backdrop for a historical film. Cobblestone streets blanketed in snow, medieval ramparts, and in the middle of it all, the Town Hall Square with a giant Christmas tree. The city proudly claims Europe’s first public Christmas tree<\/strong>, which according to local tradition stood here as early as 1441 (though in nearby Riga they’d tell you something different). Whatever the truth may be, once you find yourself at the markets filled with the scent of cinnamon and roasted potatoes, you’ll easily believe this medieval legend. \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although December days in the north are very short and the sun disappears behind the horizon early in the afternoon, you’ll be rewarded with an endless golden hour<\/strong>. Soft light bathes the ancient merchant houses and creates an incredibly photogenic atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local advent village also won a prestigious poll for the best Christmas market in Europe<\/strong> a few years ago. Tallinn still rightfully prides itself on this title because it has managed to preserve an incredibly charming atmosphere without endless crowds. Let’s take a look at tips on what to see and taste in Tallinn during advent so you can enjoy the winter Baltics to the fullest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
