Every winter, as snow dusts the cobblestones and warm lights glow between medieval façades, Tallinn’s Christmas Market transforms the city’s historic center into a true winter fairytale. Set in Town Hall Square, the market is consistently ranked among the most atmospheric Christmas markets in Europe—and for good reason.

When exploring Tallinn with a local guide, history is not found only in stone walls and medieval streets. Sometimes, it reveals itself through taste. Kalev chocolate is one of those stories where Tallinn’s past, craftsmanship, and national identity come together in a single chocolate bar.
