Estonian Christmas and a tradition that dates back 350 years

C

hristmas is one of the most important holidays in Estonia. It is a mixture of traditional and modern, of religious and non-religious. Due to the many occupations of Estonia, Christmas celebrations in Estonia have been influenced by many different cultures.

Like in most of Northern Europe, Estonians celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve (24 December). In the folk calendar, Christmas began on St. Thomas’s Day (21 December) and lasted until Epiphany (6 January). Christmas holidays were celebrated from 25-27 December, with 24 December being the most important day.

The word jõulud (Christmas) comes from the word Jul, a word that has no connection to Christianity. Scandinavia and Estonia are the only areas in Europe where Christmas is still referred to by a pre-Christian word. The word näärid, of German origin, was also used to mark the holiday. It was the only official seasonal holiday during the Soviet period. Otherwise, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day were celebrated at the time and Christmas was celebrated unofficially in the privacy of one’s home.

These days Santa brings gifts on the night of 24 December, a relatively new tradition that has become widely adopted. The Christmas tree is also a rather recent addition to Estonian Christmas symbols and came here through German culture in the mid 19th century. The tree was decorated very simply with toys and treats, then later candles.

Every year, on 24 December, the President of Estonia declares Christmas Peace. This is a 350-yearold tradition that began in the 17th century by the order of Queen Kristina of Sweden.

Traditional Estonian Christmas food includes pork with sauerkraut and blood sausage. There are many opportunities to try traditional Estonian Christmas food while visiting this December. Many restaurants have special Christmas menus on offer. And no visit to Estonia in winter is complete without a mug of glögg or mulled wine.

The Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats) is Northern Europe’s best-preserved medieval town hall square and was built at the beginning of the 1400s.

Toompea Castle The Tall Hermann Tower (15th century) on the southwest corner of the hill, and the blue, black, and white Estonian flag signify independence and freedom for Estonians. Today, Toompea is the centre of Estonian government and the Riigikogu (parliament). Look for the pink building behind the Russian Orthodox Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral. Tallinn B1.

Blink and you might miss this narrow passageway off of Vene. Built in 1246, St. Catherine's Monastery (Püha Katariina klooster) is the oldest building in Tallinn. This passageway is also known as the Latin Quarter of Tallinn, and where you can find one of Tallinn’s first Italian restaurants.

Kiek in de Kök and the Bastion Tunnels

St Olaf’s Church (Oleviste kirik) Climb the stairs of the St Olaf Church and you will discover not only the lower town beneath, but also the magnificent palaces facing the slopes of Toompea Hill, and the upper town. The old town of Tallinn is divided into a lower and upper part. The lower town was inhabited by hanseatic traders and the upper town, or Toompea, was inhabited by nobility. Lai 50, Tallinn Old Town E2.

The Kiek in de Kök tower is the entrance to historical underground bastion tunnels. In Soviet times they were supposed to serve as bomb shelters and protect the communist elite in case of a war. Kiek in de Kök means, “look into the kitchen”

Paks Margareeta Fat Margaret (Paks Margareeta) is the most important fortification tower in Tallinn. She was built in the early 1500s. The diameter of the tower is 25 metres and the walls are up to 6.5 metres thick! She was constructed to protect Tallinn from intruders from the sea. Fat Margaret is often the main entrance gate and first encounter for visitors to the Old Town in Tallinn, if arriving by sea.

KGB Museum

Town Hall Square

Kiek in de kök

A fascinating museum about Soviet history in Estonia is located on the top floor of the Viru Hotel. The hotel rooms were under KGB surveillance. The rooms were equipped with microphones, and small holes were made in the walls, where cameras could be placed to take pictures of hotel guests.

The museum is only accessible by guided tour. Tours run daily and are held in English, Finnish, Russian, and Estonian.

English tours fill up quickly so bookings are recommended. Viru väljak 4, Tallinn B2.

Sometimes you just don’t have enough time to see everything, but on the Tallinn City Tour you just might. Three lines run daily, and best of all, each one passes through the Port of Tallinn, making it even more convenient. The tour operates in ten different languages and is guided by a recorded audio track that follows the sequence of the sights.

One ticket is valid for 24 hours. This means that you can travel on all three routes in one day. If you purchase a 24-hour Tallinn Card then your journey on the Tallinn City Tour is free.

■ Pick up the Tallinn Card (available from Tourist Information Kiosks and the A & D terminals at the port) for free entrance to many museums, free use of Tallinn city transportation, including the Hop on, Hop off bus (don’t forget to swipe the card), and further discounts all around town. www.tallinncard.ee

A quick history of the city of Tallinn

Outside of the Old Town TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

Kalamaja & Kopli Kalamaja (Fish house) is a historic suburb filled with wooden houses and old factories. Since the 14th century, Kalamaja has served as Tallinn’s main fishing port and was home to fishermen and fishmongers. When the railroad connected Tallinn with St. Petersburg in 1870, many factories opened. The colourful wooden houses you still see today were built in the 1920s and 1930s to house the growing working population. Kalamaja has seen a revival over the last few years as artists and other bohemian types moved in for the large spaces and cheap rent. Restaurants and cafés began to open, and the area continues to grow .

Patarei Prison (Patarei Vangla) Patarei Prison gives an eerie glimpse into gloomy Soviet era prison life. For a small entrance fee you can take a self-guided tour through the dark halls of this old sea fortress that has served as barracks, and then as a prison during Soviet times.

Kalaranna 2-2a By tram: No. 1 or 2 from the city centre to the Linnahall stop. From there, by foot along the Cultural Kilometre trail, just before the Seaplane Harbour.

Küti 17 / Vesilennuki 6, Tallinn By tram: No. 1 or 2 from the city centre to the Linnahall stop. From there, by foot along the Cultural Kilometre trail.

The name Tallinn originates from the Danish occupation (1219–).

1561 Tallinn goes to the Swedish.

1721 The Russians conquer Estonia and Tallinn.

Pirita Pirita is an area located a short distance to the east of the city centre and offers a variety of things to see and do. Start by visiting the ruins of St Birgitta’s Convent ruins (Pirita klooster) whose colourful history dates back to the 15th century. A stroll through the ruins and the surrounds, including the small cemetery, is a moving reminder of the past. Its proximity to the Pirita River and the beach makes it perfect as part of a day excursion. The 2km long beach can attract up to 30,000 visitors a day in summer. Also located a short distance from the beach is the city’s Botanical Gardens (Botaanikaaed) and the famous Tallinn TV Tower (Teletorn), which is a must see as it not only provides a number of interactive exhibits but also offers one of the best views of the city and the district. A starting point for information on these can be found at:

1918 Estonia declares independence and Tallinn becomes its capital.

1939–44 Russians and Germans occupy Tallinn.

1944 The Soviet Army bombs Tallinn in March and causes extensive damage. 1400 people are killed.

Seaplane Harbour (Lennusadam) Have you ever seen the hull of a real submarine from below? Or better still, crawled through the narrow living and working quarters of a fully refurbished sub from the 1930s?

The submarine Lembit was one of two Estonian submarines built in the UK in the mid 1930s. Another sight is an authentic replica of the Short Admiralty Type 184 seaplane, a British two-seat reconnaissance, bombing, and torpedo carrying folding-wing seaplane used in the Estonian War of Independence in the early 1920s and later for mail service.

The museum is located in the former seaplane hangars built during WWI

Kadriorg Park is the area that houses the Presidential Palace (Presidendi kantselei) and the Kadriorg Palace (Kadrioru loss), and the KUMU Art Museum. (All located on Weizenbergi). Kadriorg means Catherine’s Valley in Estonian, and dates back to the 18th century.

The park and the palace were built

by Peter the Great, who apparently helped in its building. As was customary at the time, the main house was named after his wife. There are plenty of other things to see in this beautiful and prestigious park. From the Kadriorg Palace, head straight along the park trail to the Russalka monument, located at the shore of the Gulf of Finland. The famous Song Festival Grounds (Lauluväljak) are only a short walk from the park as well.

Estonian Open Museum (Eesti Vabaõhumuuseum) Visitors can catch a glimpse of the Estonian countryside and village life from the past. The venue has a distinctive rural atmosphere that includes various farm buildings as well as its own church, tavern, and schoolhouse. Several mills, a fire station, fishing net sheds, a dancing area, and a village swing add to the character of the place. Some of the country’s iconic windmills can also be seen. Various demonstrations, displays and interactive activities help bring the past to life and provide visitors with a fun and educational experience.

Vabaõhumuuseumi tee 12, Tallinn.

Debit and credit cards are widely accepted throughout Estonia, especially VISA and Mastercard. American Express is not as widely accepted.

Currency can be exchanged in banks throughout the country. Major Estonian banks include: LHV, Swedbank, SEB, and Nordea. There is a wide network of ATMs in major cities and smaller towns. Currency can also be exchanged at Eurex, and Tavid.

The bouillon is the base of the soup. It cooks for seven to eight hours. The noodles are made in house from Estonian wheat flour.

The miso paste is also made here.

“The recipe is 36 years old. It is traditional, yet modern.” Daigo couldn’t tell me more because it was a secret recipe. Tokumaru serves five different types of ramen, which range in price from 7.80 - 9,80. Smaller portions are also available, or in combination with sushi.

New restaurants in Kalamaja Foody Allen Frenchy Kivi Paber Käärid Telliskivi 60a, Tallinn A1.

The Telliskivi complex continues to grow with trendy restaurants popping up almost monthly. Recently opened is the street food themed Foody Allen. It offers street food from around the globe. Frenchy, which opened its doors at the end of November, is serving a French menu of course – a welcome addition to the Tallinn dining scene.

Kivi Paber Käärid, or Rock Paper Scissors, will open at the beginning of December and focus on gluten free dishes.

It was a Daigo Takagi’s dream right from the beginning to open a Japanese restaurant in Tallinn, and thanks to the success of Momo (the place to get all things Japanese), this dream has become a reality. The story is very familiar, Daigo came to Tallinn six years ago to study and fell in love with Estonia. “Estonians are very honest and shy people, very similar to Japanese people”, he explained in perfect Estonian.

“We want to show people that there is more to Japanese food than sushi. When we opened the restaurant, we didn’t even want to serve sushi”, Daigo told me. For those that love sushi, don’t worry; Tokumaru has a small sushi menu too. I tried the Aburi salmon. The salmon is served over rice and is cooked very slightly on one side.

The result is a slightly caramelised

Thanks in part to the closure of some other excellent bars, but also due to good management, Butterfly Lounge has taken on some excellent staff and kept a good reputation for food and drinks that make you feel a million euros, on a mid-range budget. The great thing about Butterfly is the decor - the pastel blues and pinks lift the mood and make customers feel so much happier than they would in some of the dark, drab bars of elsewhere in the Old Town.

The other great thing is that about 97 of the clientele are unbelievably gorgeous, making the place a feast for the eyes if you’re a peoplewatcher. Male and female bar-staff get into the swing of things too, wearing pink shirts and seeming like the happiest bartenders in all of Estonia. There is usually live music from a major local music act, with excellent acoustics meaning it’s easy to talk while the band plays on, but also to hear every word sung, if you’re a music-lover.

The food is good, although not up there with the best Tallinn has to offer; pre-closure and reopening, Clazz (Vana Turg 2, Tallinn Old Town H2) offered the best main course at around 20, but this reviewer has not returned since its relaunch so cannot compare menus any longer. The beef tartar at Butterfly is a treat, melting on the tongue as the egg yolk intermingles with the meat. It is nonetheless with cocktails that Butterfly thrills. The extensive menu of global favourites and celebrity-endorsed tipples will help any New-Year reveller to feel in the mood for dancing.

Butterfly Lounge, although not by any means a ”gay bar”, is very gay-friendly, refreshingly so in Tallinn, a city that has often seemed behind-the-times when it comes to gay culture.

The Luxury-Lovers: Vabank Harju 13, Tallinn Old Town J1.

Vabank Klubi is the place to be if you want to be in with the incrowd, and go where the in-crowd goes. Though it has a reputation among twentysomethings for being for the slightly older party animal, that’s not really true any longer - you will find plenty of people from early twenties up enjoying themselves. Don’t be surprised to be charged a big admission fee to get in, but when you are in, you will find very welldressed beautiful people, in a more chilled club than neighbouring Prive (Harju 6, Tallinn Old Town J1), or the sweaty-youth Mecca that is Club Hollywood (VanaPosti 8, Tallinn Old Town I1). The laid-back attitude is reflected by (expensive) seating areas where groups of around ten can recline on comfy sofas and share bottles of wine. For an extra few euros you can have access to the VIP area, accessible behind a sliding door.

This is a luxury worth paying for if you come to Vabank; you will want a quiet place to dance or sit with your friends, away from the crowds of the main club. For the chosen few, there is also the Bankowners’ cigar club downstairs, although you need a special card to get in there, and it’s by invitation of the club’s management only.

Whether you think of yourself as a Justin Timberlake or a Jordan Belfort, you’ll find a calm, sexy crowd and the biggest tunes in Vabank.

If you’re not an aspirational socialclimber and you just want to have good, dressed-down fun with your friends, you’re best-off going to Sinilind, a place we’ve mentioned before, but which comes into its own on New Year’s Eve. This reporter went in there for an hour or so at 1am on New Year’s Eve 2013, and did not emerge until 4.30am, so electrifying was the music being played, particularly in an old-school hiphip set in one of the smaller rooms.

There are few musical boundaries in Sinilind; you are unlikely to hear cheesy chart hits, but you will hear something that kicks your night up a notch. If all that dancing gets too much for you and your companions, you can retire to the cute little cafe area, where cakes are served throughout the opening hours.

The dress code is ”come as you are”, although it always helps to wear a cool hat or a statement shirt or dress - just keep it playful, not overly fancy or designer.

Fireworks: Vabaduse Väljak (Freedom Square) Tallinn Old Town J1.

Wherever you spend New Year’s Eve, make absolutely sure you step out into Vabaduse Väljak for the annual firework display and street party, where you are sure to meet great new friends, and where the cold of the Estonian winter seems, for a few stolen moments, not to matter any longer. ■

The not-so-small design shop Les Petites has been bringing the best of Estonian (and Scandinavian) design to Tallinn since 2009.

Petites Disain & Vintage. Elena started making jewellery when As with most great business ideas, she fell pregnant, then decided they usually begin when you least to continue with it instead of expect it. This was certainly the returning to her old job. “I was case for Elena Volk, owner of Les making jewellery next door (to their current location in Telliskivi), and my friends were making things too”. And so the idea was born –a common place for designers to sell their goods.

The concept soon became very popular. “I only sell things I, myself, would wear or Elena Volk, owner of Les Petites use”, she explains.

TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

“In the beginning I was going to design fairs, looking for local designers. I would hand out flyers. Designers could find me on our website and submit examples of their work there”. With over 60 designers now showcasing their goods at Les Petites, I wondered how she chooses. “On any given day I have four to five people coming in to show me their designs, looking for a spot on the shelves at Les Petites”. Of course Elena cannot accept everything. “I look for things that suit the style of our shop”.

Les Petites does not just showcase Estonian design. The shop is filled with Scandinavian furniture.

In the corner, there is the Stålhästen pop-up bike space. Elena

herself loves vintage Japanese dresses. There is a rack of these as well. “We also house guest designers for two to three months at a time and organise special events”.

Elena is still designing jewellery, including the Bio:loogiline:kell line of women’s jewellery and men’s accessories she designs together with Kadri Tulev.

“We often have people contacting us from abroad, asking if

we can send items to them. Many people have come into the shop, fallen in love with a particular item and then regretted not buying it.

With this is mind, we will soon be opening a web shop”. Keep upto-date with what is going at Les Petites via their Facebook page. ■

A traditional Estonian Christmas Learn about Estonian Christmas traditions of the past at the Estonian Open Air Museum’s Christmas Village.

TEXT MIKKO VIRTA, PHOTO ANDREI CHERTKOV

The tour is based on the life of an energetic Estonian lady, Aliine Tamm. The journey begins at Köstriaseme Farm in 1895, where Aliine’s mother is about to give birth to her. A traditional Christmas is being prepared for.

Typical Christmas traditions for 1932, or the first period of Estonian independence are shown at the Härjapea House. These include, a Christmas tree, the preparation of tasty foods, and sharing of presents.

The Soviet period brought radical change to Estonian Christmas traditions. Instead of celebrating Christmas in the 1960s, the New Year was celebrated; and instead of Father Christmas, there was Father Frost.

In the 1980s, Christmas was cour-

ageously celebrated again, though only the privacy of one’s home.

In the idyllic Sutlepa Chapel, choir concerts and Christmas prayers on Saturdays and Sundays are held. There is a Christmas market in the Sassi-Jaani Farm, and you can taste Christmas foods at the Kolu Kõrts. ■

White bears and other wonders of the animal world The Tallinn Zoo is the kingdom of polar bears, elephants, chimpanzees, and rhinoceroses.

TEXT MIKKO VIRTA, PHOTO ANDREI CHERTKOV

In winter you can see many strange sights at the zoo, like Amur leopards in the snow. If you need to warm up, you can visit the tropical house, where you will see Betty, Pino, and Quincy, the zoo’s three chimpanzees.

This year’s new attraction was the Amur leopard cubs born in April, who often come to meet the visitors behind the glass window. The snow does not bother Dora, Freddo, and Muusi in their large pen.

The Tallinn Zoo is fun, both in summer, and winter.

At the west gates, a new nature centre opened in spring, where you will find a shop, nature centre, toilets, and children’s zoo, where kids can meet rabbits, guinea pigs, and chickens. Previously, the children’s zoo was only open in summer.

For a thorough visit of the zoo, you should leave at least three

hours, or even then entire day.

The large zoo will certainly tire youngsters out, so the zoo provides strollers. The zoo also has wooden carts.

The ticket counter is open 9.0015.00 in winter. You can stay in the zoo up to two hours after closing, or until 17.00. Adult tickets cost 4, and children’s tickets cost 2.

A family pass also allows access to the nearby Open Air Museum.

The family pass costs 12. ■

How to get there Take trolley number 6 from in front of Kaubamaja or trolley number 7 from Baltijaam Train Station, as well as busses 21, and 21B. Bus 22 leaves from Vabaduseväljak (Freedom Square). Get off at the Zoo stop.

Modern Beauty Specialised procedures, professional service, and a comfortable atmosphere are just some of the reasons Freya Estetica stands out from the rest.

TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTO ANDREI CHERTKOV

Non-invasive beauty treatments are becoming more and more common. Women, and men, don’t have the time to take a few days from work to recover from a beauty procedure. The No-Needle Mesotherapy procedure for example, takes just an hour and a half, and offers you relaxation as well.

Freya Estetica is located in Tallinn’s city centre, right on the edge of the Old Town. While they have a regular client base, stepping in as a first time client, I felt right at home. Depending on which procedure you are trying, you will have to fill out some forms, including a short questionnaire. This is to make sure that the treatment you are undergoing is suitable and that you will get the best results.

I tried the No-Needle Mesotherapy, a procedure that has

become quite popular in the last little while. “All of our staff have gone through thorough training”, explains Jelena, my cosmetologist.

Jelena is also great at answering all of my questions and explaining exactly how the procedure will go. The hyaluronic acid cocktail for face and neck (2 hours, 119) begins with a laser treatment with the NNM™ device. This machine uses both a laser (red and infrared) and electrotherapy (electro stimulation, micro currents for mio-lifting, lymphatic drainage and interferential therapy). This combination helps the cocktail reach deep into the skin.

No-Needle Mesotherapy NNM™ treats both cellulite and age-related skin issues by encouraging the penetration of a topical solution. As the title suggests, it does not use any needles, and as

I found out, is so relaxing that it’s not difficult to fall asleep during the procedure. After the laser has gone over your skin, then the electrotherapy begins. This ensures that the hyaluronic acid solution reaches deep into the skin.

The solution, or cocktail, lifts skin, strengthens blood vessels, deeply hydrates, and restores tissue metabolism. In other words, it leaves your skin looking and feeling great.

To get the best results, you should undergo 8-10 treatments, though you may even notice results after one treatment. Jelena suggested having a course of treatment twice a year. In December, customers will receive 10 off No-Needle Mesotherapy. ■

Get into the Christmas spirit at the market TEXT MIKKO VIRTA, PHOTO ANDREI CHERTKOV

The Christmas market in Tallinn’s Town Hall Square is the place to find interesting things to fill your stockings. The Square is filled with little houses where handicraft artisans are selling everything from sweaters to tree ornaments and ceramic jugs. Walking among the dozens of wooden houses you will be sure to find something.

Be sure to visit with the kids because Santa and his reindeer will also be at the market. You can tell your gift wishes to Santa from 12.00-18.00 every day. In addition

to the reindeer, there are also other animals at the market.

It’s worth a visit just to see the immense Christmas tree in the centre of the Square. This has been a tradition since 1441. It’s even argued that it was the first Christmas tree in Europe.

Concerts and dance performances are organised on the stage at the market on Fridays and Saturdays from 17.00-19.00 and Sundays, 12.00-14.00. You will see everything from flamenco to ballet and even children’s dance performances.

The Advent candles are lit on Sunday. The mayor declares Christmas peace on the 24th at 12.00.

The smell of Estonian Christmas food wafts through the air.

Try some sauerkraut, sausages and the traditional blood sausage.

Warm up with some mulled wine, or glögg, and other hot drinks until 23.00 every night. ■

Alexandre Vassiliev

A Moveable Feast Art Deco Fashion Design from Alexandre Vassiliev’s Collection TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS KUMU

This fascinating exhibition is based on the collection of Alexandre Vassiliev (1958). Vassiliev is a fashion historian, interior designer, and scenographer, quite well known in Europe. The exhibit focuses on fashion in the decade following World War I.

The exhibition includes 80 costumes and over 200 accessories, as well as some photos and paintings that illustrate the development of European fashion between the two World Wars. Art Deco was the dominant style during this period.

The biggest change in women’s fashion during this time was the

change in dress length. Dresses became shorter between 1918 and 1925. Muslin dresses with low necklines, decorated with sequins were typical. Handbags and evening bags were common accessories, including the helmet shaped hats, typical of the period. Other accessories included fans made from ostrich feathers, Bakelite

compacts, shiny cigarette holders and brooches with fake jewels.

Alexandre Vassilev has published close to 40 books on fashion history. His Art Deco collection has been on display throughout the world, in cities like Paris, Sydney, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Istanbul, Moscow, Riga, Vilnius, and Kaunas. ■

Location The exhibit runs until 18 January, 2015 KUMU Art Museum Weizenbergi 34 / Valge 1, Tallinn B5.

19 Ticket Information

PUBLIC TRANSPORT Tallinn’s public transport system consists of trams, buses, and trolleys. All three use the same ticketing system. In 2013, a smartcard ticketing system was introduced. If you plan on using public transport more than three times, this is your best option. Smartcards can be purchased and topped up at R-Kiosks and are transferrable. The Tallinn Card also allows you to use public transport for free.

Both cards must be validated by touching them to the orange card reader.

Detailed route plans are displayed at all the stops, or plan you journey ahead of time on-line at: http://soiduplaan.tallinn.ee
