Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is a blend of ancient charm and modern vibrancy. It has a population just under 500,000. This Baltic city boasts a remarkably well-preserved Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site that reminds visitors of the Middle Ages. Old ceramic pottery found in early settlements has been dated back to 3000 BC. Located on the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea, it is only 50 miles south of Helsinki by boat. We visited Tallinn after leaving Stockholm.
