Europe has many wonderful Christmas markets open during the festive season but there is one that stands out from the rest - Tallinn. The Tallinn Christmas market is not only special for its unique characteristics but it also the location of the world's very first Christmas tree. The Brotherhood of Blackheads erected the tree in the year 1441, decorating it with colourful natural ornaments and danced around it. Those merchants of Tallinn created a beloved tradition that continues to this day.
