Tallinn

Harju · Estonia

Admission and costs
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.
Getting there
From Balti jaam station, enter the old town through the Nunne area and continue to Raekoja plats. The Christmas market occupies Town Hall Square; return via Balti Jaama Turg near the station for a separate food-market stop.
Time to allow
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.

Dresden

Saxony · Germany

Admission and costs
Admission to the Altmarkt Striezelmarkt is free. Food and attractions cost extra; the medieval market in the Stallhof is a different event and should not be assumed free merely because it is nearby.
Getting there
From Dresden Hauptbahnhof leave towards Wiener Platz and follow Prager Straße to Altmarkt: the tourist board identifies this street as the link between station and square. Continue on foot towards Neumarkt and Frauenkirche without changing neighbourhoods.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Verkehrsmuseum in the Johanneum, Augustusstraße 1, explores transport history near Frauenkirche. A separate ticket is required; the model railway is out of operation for maintenance until 27 November 2026.
