Wandering through Tallinn's medieval Old Town, you might feel like you've lost a few centuries. Northern Europe's oldest capital, Tallinn never fails to amaze, with its cobblestone streets, church spires, and beguiling vibrancy. But don't think there's nothing new or modern to see in Tallinn. Two decades ago, Estonia regained independence following the Singing Revolution of the late 80s/early 90s. Since then the city has modernized without losing its historical charm. Located just 50 miles and two hours by ferry from Helsinki, Tallinn, like all of Estonia, is a unique mix of East and West, medieval architecture and high-tech lifestyles. You'll see this effect in Tallinn's art, architecture and even the hearty and delicious local cuisine.
