Tallinn
The Old Town of Tallinn has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997 as Northern Europe’s best-preserved medieval city. Stroll around the old alleys in an authentic environment and feel the history of the wings nearby. Find modern and trendy taverns and bars and visit exciting sights.
City Hall Square becomes a large market if you visit Tallinn during Christmas or the festivals. You meet older ladies who sell their crocheted garments. Local artists exhibit their art, and the merchants in the stands sell vegetables and fruits and cook local dishes that spread a delicious smell over the market.
Shop and explore in Tallinn
Shop local art and Estonian craftsmanship at the market stand. If you want to take beautiful photos and see the old city from above, you should get to one of the lookout points above the city. Look for other places to discover – behind well-groomed facades, there are hidden alleys. Go exploring and experience unpolished gems. Plenty of museums are everywhere, from the Marzipan museum to the museum exhibits from when the former Soviet Union and Germany occupied Tallinn.
