TALLINN'S FAIRYTALE OLD TOWN

Welcome to Tallinn, Estonia. 

The pastel, photogenic capital city. Sitting on the Gulf of Finland is one of the most beautiful places I've been to in my (long, long, long) 22 years. Tallinn's Old Town is the best preserved Medieval city in Europe and boasts the honour of being a UNESCO Heritage Site. 

Late last year I spent a few days nestled in an Airbnb in the heart of the Old Town (linked because it was amazing and had a private sauna in) and have to share how amazing it was and what you can get up to in the Old Town.

Check out my last post on Tallinn's abandoned Olympic stadium if you want to see the complete opposite of what you're about to!

Exploring an Abandoned Olympic Stadium in Tallinn, Estonia

Last November I spent two weeks travelling around North Eastern Europe, starting in Finland and finishing in Lithuania. Today's post begins the coverage of the second city we visited, the capital of Estonia, Tallinn!

Tallinn is known for being extremely, extremely beautiful. It's an absolute fairytale of a city, it's picturesque, it doesn't feel real, and it's quite possibly my favourite city on the planet. However today we aren't talking about that side of Tallinn, we're focusing on Linnahall, an abandoned Olympic stadium located just a stones throw from the Old Town.

If you want to know how we got from Finland to Estonia, and all about Helsinki, you can go to my post 72 Hours in Helsinki.
