Experience the best of Tallinn

Tallinn is Estonia's capital on the Baltic, a medieval walled old town of towers, spires and cobbled lanes with a modern harbour beside it.

Tallinn's old town, a World Heritage site, sits on a limestone hill above the harbour, ringed by medieval walls and towers and divided into the upper town on Toompea and the lower town of merchants. The Hanseatic trading city grew rich in the Middle Ages, and Town Hall Square has what is described as the only surviving Gothic town hall in northern Europe, with a weather vane in the shape of Old Thomas. St Olaf's Church, once among the tallest buildings in Europe, rises above the roofs.

Toompea has the onion-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the pink Toompea Castle, home of the parliament. Kadriorg Palace, a baroque palace built for Peter the Great, stands in a park east of the centre beside the KUMU art museum. Telliskivi, a former industrial district, has studios and cafés, and the Open Air Museum shows rural wooden buildings. Lahemaa National Park, with manor houses and bogs, is about an hour east.

Estonian cooking leans on black rye bread, smoked fish, Baltic sprats and blood sausage with lingonberry, and kama, a fine flour of roasted grains, is stirred into yoghurt for dessert. Marzipan has long been a city speciality. Midsummer in June brings almost endless daylight, and winter brings snow and a Christmas market on Town Hall Square.
