Estonia’s capital, Tallinn, makes a great short break destination – just a three hours flight from the UK, the city is uncrowded but packed with things to do, from historic sights in the medieval Old Town to the hipster hang-outs in the redeveloped Telliskivi district, with great dining in between. Best of all, the city’s laid-back, modern Scandi vibe comes at a Baltic states price point. Helsinki and the rest of Finland is only a two hour ferry ride away, but Estonia’s towns and cities, such as Tallinn, are extremely affordable with accommodation choices to suit all budgets.
Plus, new for 2025 are regional flights with Jet2 from Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh to Tallinn from 27 Nov – 22 Dec, which are perfect for visits to Tallinn’s famous Christmas market. One of the finest festive markets in Europe, it’s just the spot for buying artisanal gifts like woollen and wooden handicrafts, sampling locally-made piparkook (gingerbread) and hot mulled wine and soaking up the twinkling, fairytale atmosphere.
And you could be the lucky winner of a place on a Christmas market fam trip in Tallinn later this year. To enter, simply answer three easy questions and complete the tie-breaker before Monday 21 April.
