Tallinn
Tallinn has a beautiful old town which has been tastefully preserved and restored. The medieval theme is a little over the top on occasion but it still makes a pleasant place to spend some time. It’s a city I’d wanted to visit since Rhian and I did our inter-railing trip in 2000. The Rough Guide to Europe which we’d taken with us on that trip had a a label on the cover ‘Now includes Baltic States’, Estonia seemed very exotic at the time, a former soviet state which I knew little about. It’s now well on the way to becoming as prosperous as it Scandinavian neighbours.
