Christmas Tours

Markets, mulled wine, and Baltic Old Towns under snow

There's nowhere quite like the Baltics at Christmas, and we'd love to show you why. When the first snow settles on medieval rooftops and the smell of mulled wine drifts across cobbled squares, these cities turn into something out of a storybook.

Picture yourself on Tallinn's Town Hall Square, where the Christmas market gathers around a towering fir on the very spot where, the story goes, a tree was raised back in 1441. Just down the coast, Riga has its own claim: a decorated tree outside the House of the Blackheads in 1510. The two cities have been good-naturedly arguing over who was first ever since, and on this trip you can visit both and decide for yourself. Warm up with a cup of glögi in Helsinki, browse handmade crafts and gingerbread in Vilnius, and let every market show you its own character, its own traditions, and its own reasons to linger a little longer.

And the season doesn't end there. Ring in the New Year with fireworks over the Baltic Sea, join locals for midnight celebrations in the Old Town, or simply enjoy the quiet magic of a northern winter. Book your Christmas escape with Baltic Tours and bring home memories that will warm you long after the lights come down.
