Tallinna Jõuluturg (Tallinn Christmas Market) is one of Europe’s most enchanting holiday fairs, held each winter in the Town Hall Square of Tallinn’s UNESCO-listed medieval Old Town. At the heart of the market stands a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, a tradition dating back to 1441 and said to be one of the first public Christmas trees in Europe. Visitors can browse cozy wooden stalls filled with handicrafts, woolens, and seasonal treats like gingerbread and mulled wine, while enjoying live folk performances and the magical backdrop of Gothic architecture dusted with snow. Steeped in history and fairy-tale charm, the Tallinn Christmas Market is a highlight of the Baltic winter season.
