Tallinn

Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is truly one of the gems of Northern Europe. Dating as far back as the beginning of 12th century, it is home to the most intact, and UNESCO protected, medieval city centre in the world. At the historical heart of the city is the hill of Toompea, covered in cobbled streets and filled with medieval houses and alleyways. A walk through this truly magical kingdom brings a mysterious sense of the atmosphere of the old days.

In Tallinn, you find a mixture of Russian Orthodox churches and Dominican monasteries with old merchant houses and medieval meeting halls. It has an atmospheric Old Town and is full of history. Art and culture are taken as seriously by locals as the great nightlife. Tallinn was also named the European Capital of Culture in 2011.
