Visiting the Tallinn Christmas Markets was truly magical!!! 🇪🇪

This was our second trip to Tallinn, but our first time experiencing the Tallinn Christmas Market, and I didn’t think I could love this city more… until now 🥹

We’ve been traveling to Europe’s Christmas markets since 2017, and the Tallinn Christmas Markets quickly became some of our absolute favorites 🎄

They’re honestly one of the most underrated Christmas markets in Europe 🤫

The best part? Tallinn is far less crowded than many of the popular Christmas destinations around Europe, which means more room to explore, shop local stalls, and take in the charm of the Old Town without feeling rushed ✨

If you’re planning a Europe Christmas market trip, definitely add the Tallinn Christmas Market to your itinerary 🎅🏻
