💡 About Tallinn
Tallinn, the capital of Estonia on the shore of the Baltic Sea, boasts one of the best-preserved medieval old towns in Europe — a UNESCO-listed fairy tale of cobbled lanes, spired churches, merchant houses and a complete ring of ancient city walls and towers.
Once a powerful member of the Hanseatic trade league, Tallinn preserves its Gothic town hall, secretive guild houses and hilltop Toompea, crowned by the onion domes of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Stepping through its gates feels like entering the Middle Ages.
Yet Tallinn is also one of the most digitally advanced cities on Earth — the birthplace of Skype and a pioneer of e-government, where citizens vote and run businesses entirely online. Medieval romance and cutting-edge technology coexist with surprising ease.
