Although Estonia is a homeland of IT innovation, the customs efficiency is not as high as I expected. Maybe because we were coming from Russia and they have to be more cautious?
(at least it is much faster than Russia though) It took around 45 minutes for us for queuing and it is funny that we feel touched about that hahhahah
wonder if ugly characters are famous here because they are everywhere
another old town and perhaps I should write an old town series. There are shopping streets and various souvenir shops here in Gothic style
starting point of free walking tours as well
#St.Nichloas' Church and Museum
first museum in Estonia and wealthiest church (maybe?) It's a few minutes walk from the old town area and even locates inside the area
#Vene and Pikk Tanav Street
uhhh doesn't the tall building looks similar with the previous one? They got a lot of buildings in this style and I get confused about that.
Anyway, it's small street but with ancient building and some traditional craft shops.
probably the inside of a church, which is not so-church
It's getting dark at 15.30 literally
#Alexander Nevsky Cathedral
I know it looks a lot better in google photos but it's so dark and cold that I can't take a nice photo
#Walls of Tallinn and towers
One of the best preserved medieval fortifications. You can climb up and enjoy a whole view of old town, but trust me: don't come in winter.
When I pass by, I though it is THE TOWER
but this is the real one
and definitely I cannot tell the difference except the McDonald located
Tallinn has a tiny city center and you don't really feel like it is a capital of a country. (Maybe because 50% of Estonia is covered by forest) The area is so small that you could spend a day and explore the main areas. Luckily, it is near to the port and take only 15-20 minutes from the city center to the terminal. I would recommend a trip to Tallinn should include other Baltic States too!
