1. Tallinn, Estonia
Have you ever imagined actually experiencing the magic of Disney movies in real life? Tallinn is where the curtains rise to reveal everything you’ve dreamed of in winter. In the old town of Tallinn, every medieval building and picturesque street is covered in a blanket of snow. Although the old town is enchanting any day, the Christmas season pushes this quality to its peak. While taking in the fairytale landscape, you can enjoy locally made soup and signature treats. Right now, Tallinn Lake has likely frozen over, and you can go ice skating there. Or maybe you’d prefer to take a sleigh ride and watch the huskies—whatever you choose, but if you get too cold, you can warm up in a traditional sauna!
