| Page Views: 960 Last Visit to Tallinn County: August, 1993 | One day in Tallinn by SirRichard - last update: Jun 9, 2003 |
I visited Tallinn in 1993 in a one-day trip from Helsinki, where I was spending a weekend out of Saint Petersburg, where I was spending a month. So in fact it wasn't planned, neither Helsinki was planned. But as I was 3 days in Helsinki and Tallinn was so close, I said to myself: why not? It will never be so close again... |
|  | Location ... and so I took the hidrofoil, crossed the waters and spent a wonderful day in this european capital, so charming and nice... |
After the URSS I visited Tallinn just 2 years after Estonia regained its independence. There was still acertain sovietic flavour here and there, but the old city seemed definetly more "european" than sovietic...
I wonder if it has changed much after this 10 years of freedom... | | |

Distance is abstract, no? I was in Helsinki but didn't get to Tallinn more because of bureaucracy than anything... though I had not regretted staying in Helsinki. VTers there had made it a memorable trip :-) | kiwi Fri Jun 27, 2003 08:39 UTC
Nice old town, I'd love to see the stone city wall and the brick houses. | herzog63 Mon Jun 23, 2003 20:51 UTC

I love finding the quiet old streets in my travels. The kinds of things you find only when you're willing to walk and get lost. |
