The centrepiece of the whole "Tallinn experience" is the Old Town, registered on UNESCO`s World Heritage list since 1997. It will replace Liverpool as Capital of Culture next year. We loved the cobbled streets, the legends behind many of the places of interest, the city walls ( two thirds of the original town walls are still intact), the views of the spires, towers and roofs from the top of Toompea Hill.... we can understand why Tallinn is becoming more and more popular with tourists.
Although it was yet another very wet day, Husb and I had a treat (we felt VERY SMUG) as we had arranged for our own private tour guide to show us around... Jonathan was fantastic. The 3 of us spent 4 hours exploring many nooks and crannies of this lovely place.
In front of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
It is such a quaint little town.
