Europe’s first city Christmas tree was erected in Tallinn’s town hall square in 1441. The town hall square Christmas market (which opened last week<\/span><\/a>) is the crown jewel of Estonian Christmas markets. The atmosphere and beauty of the market is best revealed in the evening when the Christmas lights are twinkling and performances on the stage can be enjoyed with a hot cup of mulled wine. You can also buy a wide range of handicrafts, winter accessories and local delicacies from the cute wooden stalls of the market.<\/p>\n

Not far away on December 11, the Estonian Academy of Arts will be hosting its annual Christmas Fair in Kalamaja. The corridors of the five-story academy will be filled with more than 90 stalls offering original art and design works of EKA students and graduates.<\/p>\n
