Tallinn

Tallinn is the medieval capital city of Estonia. There are plenty of things to see here, not least the city’s 13th century Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site where tall spires rise above narrow cobblestone streets. The town is home to markets, festivals, and many beautiful churches, such as St. Nicholas Church, which has a Baroque interior and a striking blue spire. Tourists can also visit Tallinn’s many museums and art galleries, including the Museum of Occupations.
