Christmas story in Estonia

Another place to celebrate Christmas in a special way, entering the deepest traditions is Estonia where, since 1441, Estonians were dancing around the Christmas tree, singing and dancing and then sit down in the heat of the fire.

A tradition that continues today more alive than ever to celebrate the arrival of Christmas. Traditions and snow offer a show suitable for a visitor to plunge into the holiday spirit or to recall for those who have only forgotten.

The Estonian capital, Tallinn, faithful to the traditions of neighboring Germany, has in the heart of Old Town at the foot of City Hall with its annual Christmas market. There you can buy handicrafts in the country made with metal, or glass wool.

But if the purchases are not the attraction you want, do not forget to admire the architectural beauty that displays the Eternal City, one of the best preserved medieval Europe, which has earned the title of World Heritage granted by UNESCO .

Something that can not be missed is the village Christmas in the Open Air Museum in Tallinn. Created especially for the youngest in the house but it is time to take the child in everyone and immerse ourselves in this dreamlike environment and participate in numerous activities that are held there around Christmas, making ornaments, games teach traditional or sledding.

Surely a Christmas tale. Not surprisingly, when this country still belonged to the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was visited at this time of year for several czars deeply attracted by holiday tradition.
