Tallinn, Estonia
K and I spent almost a week in Tallinn years ago, visiting a friend who worked for USAID. It was (still is) a beautiful, interesting, and culturally rich city. It offers the visitor well-preserved medieval architecture, along with vintage (Cold War) Eastern European buildings and monuments, plus chic neighborhoods that feel contemporary and Western European.
Six things to do in Tallinn:
- Visit the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
- Spend an afternoon at the Kadriorg Art Museum.
- Check out Toompea Castle.
- Walk through the Danish King’s Garden.
- Window shop along St. Catherine’s Passage.
- Dine at Olde Hansa Restaurant in Old Town.
