Dates to be confirmed

The market on Town Hall Square, in the Hanseatic old town. Visit Tallinn did not show a 2026/27 date on the pages we could read.

No 2026/27 dates were confirmed on Visit Tallinn when we checked on 2 November 2026. Figures circulating from the previous season are not reused here.

The season

No 2026/27 opening or closing date is recorded here, because none was on an official page we could read on 2 November 2026.

What to notice

  • The old town is small, walled and exactly the right size for an evening, market or not.
  • A ferry from Helsinki is the usual pairing. Do not assume both cities have published markets just because the boat runs.

What to eat and drink

Unless a sentence names its source, these are specialities associated with the city, not a confirmed menu for 2026. Stall lists change every season.

  • Verivorst, black pudding, and hõõgvein are the Estonian season. Not a confirmed stall list.

Planning notes

  • Check Visit Tallinn the month you travel. The square is worth the walk either way.
  • In deep December the square is dark by mid-afternoon. That is the atmosphere, and also the reason to watch your footing.

Getting there

Tallinn’s old town is a short walk or taxi from the ferry terminal and from the main railway station area. Confirm which port your boat uses.

When to go

Unconfirmed. The town itself is at its most itself on a weekday evening.
