Tallinn is a medieval Christmas dreamland | Europe's best city in winter 🇪🇪🎄

'Tallinn in Estonia is the prettiest place I've ever seen.' That's how Marnie described the medieval capital city which is home to one of the best Christmas markets on the continent.

With snow on the ground and stunning decorations, Tallinn is yet another wintry Christmas dreamland and the second stop on our festive adventure through the Baltics and Scandinavia.

We of course visited the Christmas market both in the day and at night to see what all the fuss is about.

Olde Hansa is an authentic medieval restaurant experience with waiting staff who dress up and stay in character, so it's a great way to immerse yourself in Tallinn's history.

We also went to the Kohtuotsa viewing platform which is the best viewpoint over Tallinn, the cafe voted the best in the city and packed in a visit to the St Mary's and Alexander Nevsky cathedrals.

St Catherine's Passage is one of the true hidden gems in Tallinn and you of course cannot skip checking out the iconic Viru Gate.
