The Tallinn Christmas Market and Tallinn City Museum present: a fun tour of Tallinn Old Town! Here we take a look how Tallinn emerged as a city and how Christmas was celebrated in Tallinn during the old days.

This year we celebrate the 800th anniversary of the first recorded mention of Tallinn, in connection with the crusade of King Valdemar II of Denmark to this area and the start of the emergence of Tallinn as a city!

The Christmas tour starts under the big Christmas tree of the Christmas market and continues on to the Tallinn City Museum (Vene Street 17); from there we move onto Toompea, where the city was actually started. Along the way, we will talk about Tallinn’s oldest places and of Christmas celebrations. We finish our fun trip in the Maiden Tower’s Café, with some hot mulled wine.

Duration:

The tour lasts for about 1.5 hours – during the tour we also get acquainted with two exhibitions of the Tallinn City Museum “From stronghold to town – the birth of the Danish town 800 years ago” and “Dannebrog and Estonia 1219–2019”.
