One day in Tallinn

by SirRichard - last update: Jun 9, 2003

A lovely day

A view from the top
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...
The way from Helsinki

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...
A quiet street

 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 :-)

 Nice old town, I'd love to see the stone city wall and the brick houses.

 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.
