Place To See Before You Die:The Christmas Market in Tallinn, Estonia

One place to see before you die is definitely the magical Christmas Market in Tallinn, Estonia, where Annika Urm and Tene Sommer of i-Marbella are originally from.
At the Town Hall Square of Tallinn, next to the majestic Town Hall, every year a Christmas market is held from the 24th of November until the 8th of January. The heart of action is the most important Christmas tree in Estonia, surrounded by Christmas cabins/stands. A Living Christmas land is decorated with trees, Christmas decorations and Christmas lights. Merchants around are offering a broad range of handicrafts not found in regular shops. Guests have the possibility to chat directly to masters and buy Christmas decorations and other handicrafts as original gifts for filling the sack of Santa Claus.
Local caterers are offering Estonian Christmas cuisine starting from black blood pudding and sour cabbage to ginger breads and body and soul-warming Christmas drinks. Also Christmas carols and a large screen behind the stage will create the mood and display wonderful Christmas visuals.
City children will have the opportunity to see real animals – bunnies, goats, lambs, ponies and geese whom they can also feed. Pony rides are available as well. Moreover, the head dwarf plays different games with children and organizes interesting competitions for them.
There are also beautiful snow sculptures that are built in front of visitors and hearts are warmed by a diverse Christmas program on every weekend and holidays throughout Christmas time.
But the real gem of the Christmas market will be Santa Claus seeing children in his own house. Santa’s house is decorated like a real Christmas fairy tale! Upon entering, every child will believe that in a place exactly like this Christmas dwarfs are dwelling! Each child can tell their gift wishes to Santa that will probably be fulfilled too, plus they get a sweet from Santa.
And surprise, surprise – Santa arrives with reindeers – a mother and two sons who were born this year and have grown splendid horns! The reindeer family is naturally near Santa’s house where children lining up can feed them with moss and caress their noses.
A day at the Christmas market will feel like a magic Christmas fairy tale!
