Christmas Market tour

    A month before Christmas is a special time of the year, when all of us want travel back in time to our childhood, believe in fairy tales, give & get gifts and wait for miracles. During this time of year, we can visit a place, where all those dreams can come true.

   You’ve probably noticed that usually we go off-the-beaten-track – we focus on undiscovered & avoid all traditional tourist routes including capitals. But in the magic time of Christmas, we’ll make an exception. Christmas markets in the Baltic capitals are highlights of every winter season and top events in the context of traditions, customs and of course gastronomy. That is why we’ve included Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius into our Christmas market itinerary. You can visit 1, 2 or all 3 capitals during your trip, or split your journey into 3 different weekends 2 days each. It’s up to you to decide!

     We provide a “ready-to-go” guidebook, tailor-made for your itinerary, Christmas food tips, accommodation tips and recommendations about Christmas events that are worth a visit. You won’t need to scroll a tiny screen of your gadget searching for the necessary information. We’ve done this work for you!

    Of course you can find markets, fairs and special Christmas events all over the Baltic States. For those clients who would like to discover them, Baltics Undiscovered can design an individual program on request.

If you would like to see how the Baltic nature looks like in winter or are fond of skiing, we suggest you complete this program with Undiscovered Winter Weekend. If you are looking for relaxation and wellness in a beautiful environment, we recommend you complete this program with one of our Spa Retreats.
