Tallinn

The market square is free to enter; food, drinks and carousel rides cost extra. Reusable tableware carries a €2 refundable deposit, returned when it is handed back: this is not an admission charge.

Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Balti Jaama Turg, Kopli 1, has covered food-market halls and dining options near the station. It is a permanent market separate from Raekoja plats: no museum ticket, with food and purchases paid separately.
