5Tallinn, Estonia
Tallinn’s UNESCO-listed Old Town looks like something out of a fairy tale — especially in winter. Cobblestone streets dusted with snow, candlelit cafes, and medieval towers create a romantic atmosphere.
The Tallinn Christmas Market, held in Town Hall Square, is one of Europe’s coziest, complete with a central Christmas tree (a tradition dating back to 1441) and stalls selling wool scarves, local handicrafts, and hot glogg. The city’s small size makes it easy to explore on foot, and the festive atmosphere feels intimate and authentic.
