You are amazing and so is Tallin 🥰 We are visiting the city during 22-25 November 2024. Will the city look like in your video? Will there be snow?

[@VisitTallinn]

Thanks so much for your wonderful words! Looking at the last three years I believe we already had some snow at the end of November. So let’s keep the fingers crossed 🤞

[@mimimedel]

Hi Polly, I love your channel. Your videos have been delightful to watch and instrumental with helping me plan our two day visit to Tallinn over Christmas this December. ❣

[@gandatree]

We book our holiday this coming Christmas for 1 week.Any recommended to see outside from Tallinn.Many thanks❤❤. Thanjs.x

[@VisitTallinn]

There are plenty of manor houses (Vihula, Sagadi, Kernu) around Tallinn to escape. You can always hop on a train and go to Tartu (the second-largest city in Estonia. Lahemaa National Park tours are popular, even in winter. And then there's Helsinki. You can take a ferry and be in Finland in two hours.

[@VisitTallinn]

Thank you, they are quite comfy indeed. These are blundstone boots 🥾 and will keep you proper warm with a pair of think and warm hiking socks.

[@mikaelachua1163]

Does anyone know why the Tallinn Christmas Market dates were moved? We booked our trip for after Christmas thinking the Christmas market would last until January 7th 😥

[@VisitTallinn]

The timing of the market depends on the organiser and from time to time these changes happen. Hopefully, you'll find plenty of things to do in Tallinn at the beginning of January. Plenty of festive trees to check out as well.

Thank you for this beautiful, fun, entertaining and informative video! I've wanted to visit Estonia for years now, and the time is finally here! Your video's have helped our decision enormously, on which country to visit for my 40th Birthday! Very spontaneous, we leave in 4 days! We are so very excited for our first visit to Estonia and to experience the Tallinn you presented so warmly in this guide. Tuhat tänu!

We are in Tallinn, 26 Nov 2023. We are fans and would love to ha=e a coffee with you! Is it possible??

[@marinalet555]

Hi ! I’m interested in visiting Tallinn from 21th till 26th of December. My concern though is, if there’ll be open cafes and restaurants on these days, since it will be Sunday and Christmas Eve. Thank you!!

[@VisitTallinn]

Up until the 23rd (included), most places will be open as usual. on the 24th, 25th and 26th some places may be closed or open for a shorter period. Then again pubs and cafes along with hotel restaurants will stay open. Christmas market is open and the gingerbread mania exhibition as well along with other museums. There will be more information about the opening times on visittallinn.ee page soon.
