 Tallinn OverviewEstonia's ancient seacoast capital, Tallinn exudes a sense of
romantic history, being one of the most completely preserved
medieval cities in Europe, a gem on the UNESCO World Heritage List
that is only beginning to be discovered by delighted visitors of
all ages. A spirit of mystery still pervades the cobbled courtyards
of the picturesque Old Town, the winding alleys overhung with
original 12th and 13th century merchant's houses, barns, warehouses
and a profusion of perfectly preserved medieval church and state
buildings. While preserving its past Tallinn is as forward-looking and
progressive as any other modern European capital. This is probably
best reflected in the interactive exhibits at the Tallinn Science
and Technology Centre, the city's showcase for the arts and
sciences. Public transport is modern and efficient; the nightlife
is pumping from cigar bars and pool halls to nightclubs; and dining
out is a tasty choice from take-away pizza and Chinese to formal
French and traditional Estonian cuisine. |
