The Estonian holiday calendar is packed throughout the winter season. Bundle up and do some shopping at the Christmas markets, or enjoy some of the major sports events in Southern Estonia:
There are also hundreds of spectacular traditional events taking place throughout Estonia and the cultural scenery of Tallinn comes alive: 
  • Gingerbread Mania (Piparkoogimaania in Estonian) is a one of a kind exhibition that takes place right on the edge of the very romantic medieval Tallinn Old Town. Artists, sculptors and architects will turn more than 300kg of dough into a very tasty adventure through history! 
  • Enhance the experience even more and visit the Open Air Museum near Tallinn city centre. It will be transformed into an enchanting Christmas themed village with a variety of activities designed for children as well as adults. 
  • On the 22d of December Tallinn ends its term as the Culture Capital of Europe 2011 with a unique church bell concert, for the best experience head to the open air of Tallinn’s Old Town. 
The little bohemian town of Viljandi is an ideal destination for those searching for a winter break with a twist. Combine your trip with their annual Viljandi Handicraft fair – 16th and 17th of December, and enjoy the live music in local cafés. 
Visit the Estonian islands and enjoy a quiet and romantic white holiday. Luxurious Pädaste manor in Muhu island is claimed to be one of the most romantic places in Europe! Let yourself be pampered as well, combining nature hiking with relaxation in the spas.
